Babygold #5 is an excellent quality, good size processing peach. It has a yellow, clingstone flesh. The tree is highly productive, vigorous and upright. While many clingstone peaches lack beauty, Baby Gold #5 is very attractive.

Grandpa never grew too many clingstone peaches, except for the "Amish" trade, who liked them for their firm flesh that held up better than most freestone peaches when canned. Most clingstone peaches were grown farther north from Grandpa, closer to the baby food factory which bought most of them.
