Flat peach

My favorite fruit.

Flat peaches are flatter than fruit of more popular peach varieties. Their skin is yellow and red, and they are less fuzzy than many other peaches. The inside of the flat peach is white in appearance.

 

Flat peaches are usually sweeter than other peaches, but still have a recognizable peach taste. They are said to be more complex-tasting and flavorful, often described as possessing undertones of almond.

The flat peach originated in China, where it is known as pántáo (Chinese: 蟠桃; lit. 'coiled peach').

We have only one tree of this fantastic peach in our orchard, but I will plant another one in late autumn.
