Sugar Rush Peach

Sugar Rush Peach is a famed baccatum bred by Chris Fowler (Wales) for a bright, tropical sweet‑heat balance and a distinctive peachy‑orange finish. Tall, branching plants are extremely productive, bearing elongated, ribbed pods with crisp walls and a citrus‑apricot aroma. Use fresh for salsas and quick pickles or roast to deepen the sugars; pods also dry well for a fragrant powder. Give strong support and full sun; regular picking keeps the plants producing late into the season. Plants thrive in full sun with even moisture; regular picking keeps new blossoms coming. Pods roast, pickle, and dry beautifully, so a single harvest works across many recipes. For the best color and flavor, allow fruits to finish fully before clipping with clean shears. A light stake or small cage helps support late‑season flushes when branches are loaded.
