The Indian Blood Cling Peach (Prunus persica) is a distinctive heirloom variety known for its large, clingstone fruit with dark crimson skin and vibrant red flesh. Native to France and brought to America by the Spanish in the 17th century, this peach has a unique, tart flavor when fully ripe and is perfect for fresh eating, pies, and preserves. Its high yield and dependability make it a favorite for home gardeners seeking an heirloom peach tree.
The Indian Blood Cling peach tree offers a midseason harvest, typically producing fruit 1-3 years after planting. This variety requires another peach tree for pollination and thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-9. Its fruit can be stored for a few weeks, providing a steady supply of flavorful peaches through the summer. With its ability to produce beautiful and delicious pickled peaches, the Indian Blood Cling is a versatile choice for those seeking both flavor and productivity.
