Im not sure about the next generations of seeds that folks are selling from her efforts… and how that will change the genetics.
Her original trees i think also could be the ‘Navaho’ that Reagan is studying… its a theory.
Not much has been said about this and i think some folks are turned off by ‘white peach’…but Indian Free and Blood are also white peaches… that turn red when they lack water.
So for those folks growing Iowa white… maybe try one tree by restricting water and putting down a barrier if needed…to get the full flavor profile… as they are grown in the reservations.
I have no doubt that pre colonization that seed was traded from West to East and South to North by Native Americans. This is a pretty good history of Indian peaches in the South… as ship captains often had very thorough journals.
