And it's also listed in the SSE Yearbook as Peche blanche and the most recent description of it is as follows:
80 days, indet,regular leaf, 2 oz, round/square white fruit with yellow tint, lots of seeds, fuzzy thin skin, sweet excellent flavor, very productive ( and the seed source was an SSE member in Belgium) |
Sounds likely, the description is spot on, my original seed source was French, so it looks like my 'white peach' is just a translation of the French name. It's one of my favourite toms, my daughter loves them, they're very sweet.
They have a somewhat un-tomato, but delicious, taste, tasting more like a tropical fruit. Thin skin and thick flesh and are crammed with big seeds.
The fruit are whiter than the one appears to be in my photo.
