The last peach tree to produce in my yard each year is the Golden Glory. It is a genetic dwarf so never grows taller than five feet or so. That makes it very easy to prune, and a ladder is not needed to pick the fruit. I just call it Cousin Itt. The tree's really long, thin leaves sort of look like hair and remind me of the funny Addams Family character.
It produces medium-sized yellow peaches. Last year, there weren't many. This year, there are probably 50 or so. Perfect to take to work for snacks or lunches. These peaches will be ready to pick in less than a week or so. The color of the fruit will become a little more orange and have a dark pink blush on the outside.
They're creepy and they're kooky,

Love that you don't need a ladder to pick and prune!
