Current Facts
Fitz Kelly’s favorite peach for about twelve years was the white fleshed peach, but about three years ago he realized the yummy yellow fleshed peach was more flavorful. Fitz Kelly measures the sugar content of his fruits with a refractometer, an easy to use compact device about the size of a regular banana. In order to measure the sugar content of the fruit, the fruit’s juice is dripped onto a crystal compartment on the device. The juice is trapped between two pieces of crystal, reminiscent to slides used in labs. Holding and looking at the refractometer against bright sunlight, a visible scale indicates the sugar content of the fruit. The highest reading being 30, a fruit with a reading of 14 or above is considered excellent.

Description/Taste
This peach is classified as a traditional "true" yellow peach, meaning it exudes the perfect peach flavor, balancing sugar and acid for a full-flavored juicy bite.

Applications
Yellow peaches are great for eating fresh, adorning a dessert, grilling and even canning. Make a yellow peach syrup for ice cream or a savory glaze for pork tenderloin. A versatile fruit to enliven many meals.

Geography/History
The center of the tree-fruit industry, Reedley, California has the ideal compatible climate for growing superior stonefruit.
