No takers earlier so I thought I'd try one more time......
While we were on holiday we met some people living in Kent who said they'd
been given something they know as a Mallorcan peach. It IS a peach of
some
sort but crops prolifically, and last year gave them two crops. They
ended
up pulping or cooking and freezing some, I believe. Does anyone know what
sort of peach tree this can be?

I also hoped for someone to respond. It does, however, sound too good

Have you retained their address as such a plant would be well
worthwhile a visit?

I'm afraid I have no address!
Peaches can be very variable but two distinct crops does sound
improbable.

That's one of the things that intrigues me. I just can't imagine what gives
such a crop but these two were sufficiently interested in gardening to be
intrigued themselves.snip
