Polly White Peach
Polly White Peach The Polly peach also known as the Polly White peach is one of the most winter hardy peach varieties. The Polly peach tree was developed in Iowa and is hardy to –20 degrees Fahrenheit. This tree blooms later so it is not as susceptible to late frosts. This peach has all the eating characteristics you are seeking, sweet, medium-sized and white fleshed. It sports a crimson-blushed white skin. If your taste buds desire a sub-acid (low tartness) white fleshed peach, this one is for you! They have been known to be white as snow and sweet as honey! It is a freestone peach with the flesh easily falling away from the pit. The sugar content is very high which makes it outstanding for fresh eating. This tree does not need a pollinator and the fruits mature by mid-summer. Peach trees need full sun and well-drained soils. They should be pruned annually while dormant. A white fleshed peach is never as sweet as it is when freshly picked. A store bought Polly peach will fail to compare to the one you pick from your own yard!
