Why Order Peaches from Pittman & Davis in the Spring? Just because out-of-season peaches are available doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re easy to get (unless you place your peach online order with Pittman & Davis!). In fact, winter\/spring peaches tend to sell out faster than you can say \u201cGeorgia Peach,\u201d and that\u2019s because they\u2019re not grown in Georgia, or anywhere else summer peaches are grown. Nope, these palm-sized pretties are grown in Florida, and since the Sunshine State devotes more than 500,000 acres to growing citrus and only about 1,500 acres to growing peaches, Florida\u2019s peach crop tends to be small. How are Florida Peaches Different from Other Summer Peaches? It\u2019s not just the time of year that makes Florida peaches different. When growers in Georgia or South Carolina ship peaches, the fruit tends to be softer, or what peach fans call, more \u201cmelting.\u201d Pittman & Davis Sweet Petite Peaches from Florida tend to have firmer flesh than these traditional summer varieties.

In terms of looks, Sweet Petite Peaches are smaller than regular peaches, which make them great for including in a child\u2019s lunchbox (the firmer flesh is helpful here, too \u2013 they\u2019re a little less likely to get smushed!). You know that lovely red-and-gold color that\u2019s characteristic of most peach varieties? Sweet Petite Peaches have it too, but they tend to be a lot redder than regular summer peaches. That\u2019s because that red color is caused by sun exposure, so it makes sense that peaches grown in the Sunshine State would have a more pronounced red coloring! The color of a peach doesn\u2019t affect its flavor, though \u2013 unless it\u2019s green, in which case it should be left on the tree for a while longer). Red Sweet Petite Peaches are every bit as sweet and juicy as other peach varieties. Sweet Petite Peaches Make a Lovely Surprise Gift Know someone who\u2019s in need of a little summer?
