Mallorcan peach? Re-post
 

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
to be true and also most unlikely botanically.
Have you retained their address as such a plant would be well
worthwhile a visit?
Peaches can be very variable but two distinct crops does sound
improbable.
Interestingly, as you probably know, the peach is perhaps the only
common fruit that can grown from its stone with some chance of success. I
have seen several and all were edible with one being quite outstanding. This
was some years ago and a brilliant summer. Have not seen it since.

I'm afraid I have no address!

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
