I'm Desmond Layne, Peach Specialist at Clemson University. Welcome to the Clemson Tiger Peach Network.
Welcome back to Everything About Peaches! Our third episode is called "Different Kinds of Peaches." Did you know that peaches originally came from China where they have been cultivated for over 3000 years? Today, in China, there are more than 1000 unique types of peaches! Spanish missionaries actually brought peaches to the "New World" in 1571. We grow from 100-200 different cultivars of peaches in the United States. Today, we will teach you how to identify several different types of peaches.
Because nectarines have a smooth skin like a plum, some people think they are a cross between a peach and a plum. But they are not! They are actually a genetic mutation of a peach. A nectarine is just a peach with smooth skin instead of one with fuzzy skin. When it comes to fuzziness, you may have noticed that peaches that come from the roadside market are fuzzier than the ones that come from the commercial chain store. Fruits for the roadside market are picked directly from the tree into the basket that they are sold in. By contrast, fruits in the commercial chain store are harvested and then mechanically brushed in the packinghouse to remove the fuzz.
Most peaches have a naturally round shape. Some, however, are shaped like a donut. These are flat or saucer-shaped peaches and they are a natural, genetic mutation. Flat peaches are fun and easy to eat. You can hold them in the middle and eat your way around the small round pit in the center.
The color of the flesh inside a peach can be yellow, white or red. In America, most common cultivars have yellow flesh. In Asian countries like China, most of their cultivars have white-flesh. Although some solid red-cultivars do exist, they are fairly uncommon in most markets.
Most peaches at local markets have that characteristic blend of acidic tanginess and sweetness. However, newer low-acid types are becoming popular now in America, especially among Asians and Hispanics. These low-acid types have a very sweet taste -- like honey, but they lack the tanginess of a traditional Southern peach.
Another name for the pit inside a peach is the stone. Peaches where the flesh sticks or attaches to the stone are called clingstone types. The commercial canning industry in California primarily uses non-melting, clingstone peach cultivars. For these, the pits are removed mechanically when canning. On the other hand, peaches that have flesh that does not stick or attach to the stone are called freestone types. For them, the stone is free from the flesh and they are easy to cut in half and separate with a gentle twist. Most people who can peaches at home actually use melting, freestone types. These are much easier to handle and more readily available than clingstone types.
Most peach cultivars available in local markets have what we call 'melting' flesh. That means that when you eat ripe ones, they practically melt in your mouth. However, some cultivars, particularly those used in commercially canning, have what we call 'nonmelting' flesh. The flesh of these is chewy, even rubbery. Some newer flesh cultivars are being developed that are very firm and actually crunchy, like an apple, when fully ripe."
I'll tell you what, being a Peach Specialist is a rough job! Today we talked about all different kinds of peaches. Traditional yellow-fleshed peaches, mmmm, fantastic! White-fleshed peaches, mmmm, exquisite! White nectarines, mmmm, heaven on earth! Yellow sub-acid nectarines, mmmm. And what about these? Donut peaches. Laugh. You need to go out and get you some of these!
Lol that shit was so funny how he laughed while eating lol I love his reactions after each bite🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had my first donut peach two weeks ago. My word, those things were sweet and juicy especially after the get a little mushy. I never ate peaches much but that donut peach changed my life!!!
yeah!
Did you guys smoke a joint before the video lol
What a great video. Perfect combination of information and comedy! Keep it up guys, these are gold!
I really want some peaches now. They all looked so juicy!
You were very informational and humorous…
Donut peaches are the sweetest I have ever eaten. Love nectarines too.
I need ur number dear.
@@JayJay-jm6yo 🤣
I've been trying to figure out what I'm eating.
I had a fruit with no fuzz and it was definitely more tangy and not like a peach, it's flesh was more solid like an apple.
I think it was a yellow nectarine.
was it good?
I wonder what they do with all that peach fuzz that's leftover from brushing...kinda boggles the imagination!
The best part was when the dude was all high eating the last one .
peaches looked delicious and some of these peach experts looked delicious too ;)
My peach tree is a Heart of Georgia variety. It is an excellent tasting peach. Btw, I am a Georgian.
Saucer peaches are the best!!!!
hilarious yet informative. attaboys
I m pakistani.... our properties produce alot of peaches but very big size.. from Pakistan khyber pakhtunkhwa (kpk).
What are the names of the best peaches to grow at home?
Delicious video, I mean peaches.
Does anyknow the reason behind the very high price of those flat shaped peaches? Compared to regular shaped ones.
Their uniqueness
Nice video!!! Humorous and informative. Lol I'm looking for a traditional yellow peach tree to make southern cobblers with. What do you suggest as the most juiciest and fragematic to grow?! Thanks
I love Belle of Georgia
Never met a peach I didn't like. lol
I have one of those red peaches I bought some years ago up in Asheville, probably from SC because that's where most of the peaches come from at their farmers market. I had one come up from a seed I threw out. Not as the original of course but color is crazy dark. Full ripe the skin is dark red almost purple. Flesh is deep red almost burgundy. Very tasty peach! Late free stone that comes in late July to mid August. Coolest thing ever, when canned the red color comes out of the flesh and makes the syrup dark red while the fruit goes yellow. Most beautiful peaches you'll ever see in a clear canning jar! Extremely vigorous tree and bares heavy and takes lots of thinning but it's a year round struggle with the fungus among us down here in Ga. They're worth the trouble tho.
I live in southern Albany county in 5A. i have had luck with Reliance and Contender, which produces later. I plan to get a Redhaven. I also have a Flame Prince but that seems to produce late for my area so that the fruit may not get fully ripe. A number of peaches can have the virtues u mention if they are grown properly and the weather and pests cooperate.
I think redhaven is one of the best.
I think the peach I’m looking for is a yellow clingstone peach that is extra juicy.
o henry peaches hands down
Thank you for the thorough info in a small space of time!!! I live in Washington and the donut peach grows here.I have not seen any info on that anywhere else. Everywhere else says "2 kinds of peaches cling and freestone.
thanks for the infor
Yellow flesh is by far the best.
I have a red peach tree in my yard.
They don't become ready to pick until about Labor Day'ish time in September.
May I get a cut for graft? Thanks
I was born on st Simon's isl Ga in 1959. and I love Ga peaches. clemson,not so much haha
Great video 👍
I get mine off the moss algae costal beach areas of Americas the smell is different and the peach oil that comes out while eating the fruit smells like a turnip THANKS
Wonderful 👍
I have an oramental peach with burgundy leaves and small fruit , can you tell me anything about it
Those are pretty trees. My mom had one, but she didn't know the name. Tree died before it could produce.
I love peaches 🍑 😍
The old folks that raised me, used to say there's two kinds of peaches. Table peaches and cooking peaches. And that it worked that way with a few other fruits too. Table apples. Cooking apples, etc.
Got you
I obviously have clingstone peaches growing. ... What varieties are freestone?
Please help... I have 3 peach trees 2 have very small peaches on them and they started falling from tree after turning yellow but still kind of green these all have a sweet taste but yet a bitter taste. What would make them taste bitter and why are they SO small? My other tree has bigger fruit on it and they are turning Orange and pink but are SUPER hard and begin to fall of tree before getting soft. Why are they not getting soft it's already October? I live in North Eastern New Mexico.
Misty Lewis Have you tried pruning and checking the PH balance of your soil? Although pruning might but be everyone’s first choice, if you have to many branches and a lot of peaches it takes the trees energy which results in smaller, less tasty fruits. The PH can also effect the taste of your peaches, try checking the ph and finding out what the right type of PH for your peach tree is. You might want to water it more also, I know nothing about North Eastern New Mexico but if it’s hot there then watering once a day or once every other day might be necessary. You should also fertilize your soil, throwing in banana peels and other food scrapes is a natural way to fertilize but since your fruits are very small and bitter I’d look online and buy some peach/fruit tree fertilizer as it will have all of the nutrients your plant will need to survive. If you know the variety of your peach tree you should look it up and find out more info on it, if you don’t know the variety then it might be hard for you to figure out why your peach tree is the way it is
I live in Whitestone New York, I believe I'm in Zone 6b-7.
I'm looking for a peach tree that is Stonefree, very sweet, juicy & soft , with good taste and smell, I prefer yellowish flash or red flash .
I only have room for one tree in my back yard of my house, I don't need it for any canning or peach pie, I just need it for fresh picking,
can anybody please suggest me any kinds? thank you very much in advance , I appreciate it
Before watching this video,i always called nactarines as peaches...
Thanks for the information
Thanks I love peaches
Anyone else eating a peach while watching this
i have a question:
the other day i ate what i think was a peach..
it was larger than an average peach, and light pastel orange color, inside and out. it was fuzzy/furry on the outside like a peach also. do you have any idea what kind of peach this is? it was delicious! very sweet.
What are golden peaches
I watched the whole thing...
Hey nice video can u tell me how to water a peach tree that I grow from seed its 3 months old now, that really would be helpful.
Thanks! Dr. Juan Carlos Melgar, Clemson pomologist, said "A three month old tree would need very little water, I would say about a couple of cups a week. It depends a lot where it is located. If it's planted in the ground and the soil is clay, that's probably enough; if the soil is sandy maybe a little more. Is it in a pot? if so, the best way is to do the following: water it until dripping, then weigh the pot one hour later (when it has stopped dripping). let it sit for a week and weigh it again. The difference in weight would be what the tree and soil uses in one week (this includes evaporation from the soil)."
He also said the water temp doesn't make a difference. He said water doesn't not have to be warm to irrigate plants.
Like peachy guys!
These dudes graduated and now own their own farm that specializes in crossing peach varietals to discover that perfectly balanced sweet and tart peach that will last longer after vine-ripened. jk
"peach specialist" what a title
indian sarbati peach is best sweet taste
If you have questions and you are from South Carolina, feel free to contact our HGIC at hgic.clemson.edu. If you are from another state, please contact your cooperative extension service in your state.
I have a question, how do you make peaches juicy?. when ever i try ripening my peaches i get at the store they turn out dry,mushy, grainy and inedible .I end up throwing them out to the animals .Is there a certain peach or a different way of ripening them that makes them juicy?.
The ending comments were good...
Do anyone know how often should a peach tree be water. If so cold or warm water

The temperature of the water doesn't make a difference. You don't need to warm up water to irrigate plants.
LMAO
This video was so weird...
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I like that porn music at the end
#DonutPeach
Can you water bath donut peaches
Is this a parody? Can't take them seriously
Majin2606 good point
J
EVERYTHING ABOUT PEACHES should be called watch us eat 40 different peaches and learn nothing. The biggest problem with peaches BROWN ROT help none and had all of one minute. I watched all 60 and was of no help!
Margaret Baxter I agree . A disappointing presentation from Clemson. They designed a cool tiger paw logo. It's all down hill from there. Check the linked website. That will prove it
If you don't like the video, just watch another one. Didn't your mom teach you to say something nice or nothing at all?
lolz more like : being a peach specialist is awesome xD looks like you enjoy those peaches x) Yummmee!
