Overview
Wapsipinicon Peach is an Iowa heirloom that Dennis Schlicht named for the Wapsipinicon River, and its small yellow fruits really do look like miniature peaches thanks to a faint fuzz on the skin. Fruits are about 1 to 2 inches, pale peach-yellow with a blush on the sunny side, and the flavor is sweet with just enough acid to keep it interesting. The open-pollinated plants are indeterminate, so stake or cage them to around 6 feet, and expect the first ripe fruit roughly 80 days after transplanting. It has also circulated as Yellow Peach and White Peach. Some growers report it stands up to late blight, though that needs confirmation.
