Black Boy Peach Gooseberry/Currant Cross yellow-fleshedPrunus persica 'Black Boy' A rare, hardy, heritage peach cultivar that is leaf curl resistant and has a wonderfully rich flavor. Dark reddish purple skin and flesh have resulted in its name. It ripens late in the season and is self fertile perfect for growers with long, hot summers. Known mainly now in New Zealand, it is related to the Peche de Vigne, the black peach of France. Its fragrant, juicy flesh is highly prized eaten fresh and for preserves.
