Description

The listing, Vine Peach has ended.

10 vine peach seeds, but I will send 12 to be safe.
80 days to maturity. Plant produces peach shaped cantaloupes. The melons are the same size and color as tree peaches. Vine Peaches make excellent preserves and pies, and are very good cooked. This variety was very popular in Victorian times for making sweet pickles, pies and preserves. They were developed in China and introduced into America in the 1880's. In the Orient this type of melon is pickled.

Questions & Comments

Not familiar with this plant; is it actually a vine? Do the plants come back each year or do they have to be replanted?

This vine peach is a type of melon, and grows in a vine.This is a annual so you would have to replant it, but it will produce enough seeds for you to be able to replant it after only growing it once.

How much space would I have to allow for one of these plants?

Plant seed not over 1/2 inch deep in soil and leave 4 to 6 feet in between. They are a vine and love to have a trellis or fence to grow off of.

Are they more like melons? I'm thinking just put it in the fridge overnight to chill then eat it like a canaloupe!

Well the flesh is snow white and makes excellent preserves, pies or sweet pickles, or sliced and fried like eggplant. (Pick while green for pickling). To pick just wait until the fruit very easily separates from the rest of the vine. Fruits will keep a long time after picking!
