These are the varieties available at the local nursery. There are a few more, but they’re white peaches. I already have 2 white peach trees and I want a nice yellow canning peach. I’d prefer a firm peach that doesn’t get soft super fast, but flavor first. As far as I can tell, these are all freestone.
I’d really prefer to stick with one of these, because he sells them cheap .
Which would you plant?
Zone 6b, pretty much all peaches grow here just fine.
. Clingstones are usually used for canning. The more acidic the safer for canning. Clingstones usually are more acidic. I don’t know the other two but Red Haven is a semi clingstone. I never heard of the other two.
my red haves are great and they are all seed grown from a grocery bought peach. They started producing the 3rd year and produced well the 4th year. I planted 8 trees and by year 5 I needed to trim back the 4 peach trees that would be eliminated to make room for the permanent 4 trees. This way I got a good crop of peaches before the permanent 4 reached full size.
