Flamin'Fury® PF Big George™ is one of Grandpa's favorites since it of such high quality and ripens so late in the season--- almost 2 months after Redhaven.  It has excellent color, size  and is amazing sweet for such a late peach.  None of the off-flavor like other late peaches.  If you love peaches and hate to see the normal season end, then you will love Big George.  Actually, the season isn't over until Big George sings!

Sorry, Big George is not available at Grandpa's for this season, 2010.  We hope to have it for Spring2011.

Grandpa was also good friends with the breeder of all the famous Flamin'Fury® peaches, who was another peach grower living near Grandpa and a cousin to the breeder of the Stellar® peaches. Paul Friday, thus "PF", continues to select peaches to this day, which Grandpa's son helps to evaluate every summer, looking for the best new peach varieties.

Almost all peaches are self-fertile and require no pollinators. They will set heavy crops on single trees, which need heavy and aggressive thinning early in the season for best fruit size. Maintain good vigor in peaches by pruning every year, and fertilizing moderately. Aim for 1-3 feet of new growth a year. Fertilize early in the season, so that growth is well hardened off before fall and winter cold weather.
