The Redskin Peach is a late-season variety known for its deep red, slightly fuzzy skin and firm, yellow flesh. It offers a tangy, mildly sweet flavor, making it ideal for cooking, baking, and preserving. Ripening in August, this versatile peach holds its shape well in pies and desserts but is also enjoyed fresh for its robust taste.
Care:
To care for Red Skin Peach, plant it in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny location, preferably on a slight slope to prevent waterlogging. Prune annually during dormancy to maintain an open canopy and encourage air circulation. Provide consistent watering, especially during dry periods, to promote healthy growth and fruit production. Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a Espoma Fertilizer in early spring and midsummer. Protect blossoms from late frosts to ensure fruit set. Monitor for pests and diseases, and apply appropriate control measures as needed. Enjoy the fruits of your labor in mid to late summer.
