China Pearl Peaches

Our orchard is almost evenly divided between Contender and China Pearl peaches. We initially planted 100 Contender, 50 China Pearl and 50 Nectarines of two varieties. Since then we have planted another 210 more Contender and 210 more China Pearl and, in addition, planted 50 apricot and 24 apple trees.

Of these fruits, the nectarines will ripen first, followed shortly thereafter by the China Pearl peaches.

The China Pearl is a freestone peach variety with white flesh. It is a sweet, good looking peach that ideally will grow to between 1/2 and 3/4lb per fruit.

The China Pearl peach is a variety that is well suited to the Middle Tennessee climate and we look forward to having great crops in the years to come.

As our fruit matures we will post some photos here so you will be able to compare them with the Contender peaches.
