Talk:Flat peach

I've just eaten one of these, there is no hint of almond. This article is factually incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.196.97.21 (talk) 10:15, 1 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Is this the same as the popular paraguayo (popular in Spain, anyway)? If so, shouldn't that be mentioned somewhere?

Saturn peaches are a variety of peach with white flesh.

There is at least one variety of Donut Peach that I know of with yellow flesh, it is marketed here in Australia as "Angel Peach". There are two forms marketed as "Angel Peach", a white-fleshed "high chill" type & a yellow-fleshed "low chill" type: http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/Angel-Peach.htm Swampy 124.183.142.187 (talk) 16:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Here's another variety with yellow flesh. It seems to be varieties that are suited to warmer climates have yellow flesh & those suited to colder climates have white flesh. http://www.flemings.com.au/topten_details.asp?CULT_ID=OKEEPCH

Title change?

edit

From what I have read at this site, "Saturn" is just one subcultivar of flat peaches. I think it is better to rename the article to either "Flat Peach" or "Donut Peach", or even its latin name. Also, should "peach" be capitalized in the title? - HyperGaruda (talk) 11:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I agree that "Saturn" is overspecific. I don't know what WikiProject Plants is recommending in terms of capitalization these days. Ibadibam (talk) 00:38, 30 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

History

These sentences directly contradict each other: "The fruit made a significant appearance in the 16th-century novel Journey to the West, in which the Jade Emperor tasks Wukong to take charge of the Pan Tao Yuan ('Coiled Peaches Garden')... The fruit originated 200 years ago as a natural mutation of the common peach." 850 C (talk) 18:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
