Description
Yellow Donut Peaches, or flat peaches, are a variety of stone fruit that has a distinctively flat, pastry-like shape and sweet profile. Unlike traditional round peaches, yellow donut varieties boast a thin, less-fuzzy skin and a low-acid, golden-yellow flesh packed with a rich, honeyed, and slightly floral flavor. This ornamental tree features a beautiful, weeping canopy adorned with vibrant pink spring blossoms, followed by clusters of easily snackable, sunken-center fruits that are highly sought after in farm stands and backyard orchards.
