White Lady time!

Started to harvest White Lady early last week. The size I’m getting on these peaches are spectacular!! Most of the fruit wasn’t affected by my Captan/sticker combo and looks like my holding off on spraying didn’t cause any PC issues.

Oh, and my son just loves them. What are your thoughts on this variety?

I’ve never eaten a white peach so I can’t give an opinion on that, but man that is a honker though!! Nice job :slight_smile:

White Lady is awesome.

Here is a tip. Sometimes WL is rock-hard for weeks until it ripens and softens. They are the rare kind of peach that needs several days up to a couple weeks to ripen on the counter. Most other cultivars just take a day or two. If you wait long enough, they literally ripen up to the point where they concentrate into an almost candy-like taste and texture consistency.

So Matt I’ve normally let them sit on the counter (I usually pick semi soft) for a day or two but always worry about coming home to find a rotted mess. You’re saying it’s possible to let them sit for a week or so?!? That’s awesome!! My kid will probably love them even more then!!
