Edible Qualities
White Lady Peach is a small tree that is typically grown for its edible qualities. It produces buttery yellow round fruit (technically 'drupes') with a scarlet blush and white flesh which are usually ready for picking in mid summer. Note that the fruits have hard inedible pits inside which must be removed before eating or processing. The fruits have a sweet taste and a firm texture.
Planting and Growing
White Lady Peach will grow to be about 15 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 12 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground | and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more. While it is considered to be somewhat self-pollinating | it tends to set heavier quantities of fruit with a different variety of the same species growing nearby.
This tree is typically grown in a designated area of the yard because of its mature size and spread. It should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions | but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments | and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
