Yeah, I read something about that, too. These were bred to grow fast, look good in the store, and last long on the shelf. Flavor was one of the least considered traits.

i mean i'm from the area. ish. remember the whole boycott USA thing? we have the best damn peach ranch (don't ask me why peaches get ranches and strawberries get farms) about five miles down the road. i just damn near had a heart attack because their social media's last post was a memoriam for a family member and i thought they sold the farm. the boycott is why they're struggling, not the peaches.

No they taste great, but they cannot be sold fresh because they are clingstone, the stone is embedded in the fruit.
