Here's a peach that will keep you guessing, not because of its taste, productivity or ease of growth but because of its outlandish shape. You will turn some heads when you serve up some Galaxy peaches to your friends, in fact, many will wonder where you got those fuzzy bagels because that is exactly what this fruit looks like! Rest assured that appearance is the only common point with bagels because this late June/early July maturing clingstone peach has a dreamy, sweet, juicy taste that is all you would want from a peach grown in your own backyard. Its sweet white flesh is surrounded by beautifully red blushed skin and its novelty shape does not affect its ability to produce an abundance of fruit that you can use fresh or in baking and preserves. Developed by the USDA, 'Galaxy' deserves a place in any backyard edible landscape.
Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply and regularly during establishment and fruit development, especially during dry periods. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain an open canopy and encourage productive growth.
