An early-ripening variant of the\u00a0O\u2019Henry, it is similarly well-balanced and aromatic. Slightly more round and\u00a0uniform than its O\u2019Henry parentage, the Summer Lady has deep burgundy\u00a0streaks at maturity and delights our taste buds almost a full two weeks earlier.\r\n\r\n<strong>Opal Peaches<\/strong>\r\n\r\nYellow-fleshed peaches are more popular in the United States, but the allure\u00a0of an excellent white-fleshed variety like the Opal can't be denied. Very low\u00a0in acid, the Opal's sweetness comes across two-fold. A beautiful dessert peach,\u00a0the Opal has a delicate pink blush to its skin and mild flesh with a hint of\u00a0vanilla.\r\n\r\n<strong>Fantasia Nectarines<\/strong>\r\n\r\nQuickly becoming one of our best known and most popular varieties, the\u00a0Fantasia is a large, tapered heirloom variety. Its deep golden flesh is amazingly\u00a0sweet and smooth, and its marbled bright red skin makes for exceptionally\u00a0beautiful presentation. Like many of our more unique and heirloom varieties,\u00a0the Fantasia is a far more fragile fruit than most farms will even consider\u00a0growing. Like the Suncrest peach that often ripens at the same time, the\u00a0Fantasia is easily bruised when allowed to ripen properly on the branch, but\u00a0we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll agree that the taste is well worth the risk.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dapple Dandy Pluots<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPlayfully called the \u201cdinosaur egg\u201d pluot, the Dapple Dandy has marbled pink\u00a0and green skin over delicate white flesh threaded with rose. Kids especially love\u00a0this pluot for its distinctive coloration and the lack of tartness in the skin.\r\n\r\n<strong>Flavor King Pluots<\/strong>\r\n\r\nA dark skinned pluot with red flesh, it has an intense rich flavor combined with\u00a0sweet, spicy tones that are reminiscent of the Santa Rosa. A nice acid bite and\u00a0firm texture that softens beautifully as the fruit continues to ripen, the Flavor\u00a0King is amazing out of hand and equally good for baking.\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS WEEK&#8217;S FRUIT Summer Lady Peaches The Summer Lady is a variety that developed naturally in a commercial\u00a0orchard in Fresno and was discovered in 1982.
