I am a brand new subscriber and was gleefully astonished that the first post I received mentioned blood peaches - a term new to me. Here in Texas we call them Indian Peaches (not politically correct, but I don't really care). They grew wild all over the family farm (long since sold, sadly) and the half-dozen trees my parents transplanted to our city lot have in the last half-century or so all become too old to bear. I was told they were a Texas native, but have never been able to find them in any nursery or tree farm. How joyous to find they are available in France - it might justify a trip just to obtain some seedlings!
Hello! Thank you very much for your comment, and for reading! How funny that your peaches have been found an ocean away! What a delicious snack to find out on the farm, I've yet to stumble upon a peach tree here but keeping my fingers crossed... and yes, names are funny aren't they, blood peaches sound very vampire-like - they are actually called peche sanguine (so yes, essentially 'bloody peaches' which just sounds like they are very annoying and aggravating peaches haha). Yes, collect the seedlings! I'm right behind you, we'll grow a forest of them!
Yo I cannot stop with these peaches and nectarines - they're insane! So perfect here! I'm definitely going to the St Aubin market this weekend for moooore
