This delicious heirloom peach has been a favorite for centuries. Inside this thick and fuzzy skinned peach is marbled red and white flesh. It is firm and sweet. Appears to be resistant or immune to peach leaf curl, a destructive fungus which kills many peach and nectarine trees. Generally produces true to seed.

We can trace this amazing peach back to France, and is likely an introduction from Gillet. It was called 'Vine Peach' or 'Blood peach' because French viticulturists would plant this red peach by seed at the beginning of each row as an early indicator for powdery mildew. It was allegedly brought to the New World via the missionaries through Mexico in the 1500s. In the late 1600s new colonists were astounded when this 'Old World' peach was found in the 'New World'. It seems they called it 'Indian's Blood peach' not as a racial slur, but because it was the Blood peach of the indigenous population.
