On June 1, 2010, I caught this squirrel sampling the ripening fruit. Guess this is nature’s signal that the UFO peaches are ready to eat. “The UFO peach was created by adding a gene that creates extra-firm flesh to an existing saucer-shaped peach that has been popular in Asia for hundreds of years, said Wayne Sherman, a professor with University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. ‘This peach was a favorite of Chinese emperors because they could turn it around in their hand and eat it without dripping juice in their beards,’ Sherman said.”
