Takes all kinds - the yellow varieties seem like white peachs to me: all sugar, no flavor.

Stupice seems to like the Bay Area. (At least, my foggy, third-mile-from-Monterey-Bay part of it, in Santa Cruz.) My one Stupice was a very heavy producer for me, last year, and this year all my Stupices were some of the first to set fruit. (Not sure why - does it se at lower night time temps than other varieties?) Mortgage Lifter has not done well, for me. Very susceptible to some sort of blight. -- programmer, author http://www.midnightbeach.com and father http://www.midnightbeach.com/hs
