Our Premier Selection! This is the flagship of our collection. Petrichor 3 produces extra-large, thin-skinned fruit with a fantastically low seed-to-flesh ratio. Each bite is a sublime blend of sweet, fruity cream and custard with hints of vanilla. The fruit is freestone and becomes highly aromatic as it ripens, with the skin turning a slight yellow. A truly superior variety for its great texture and flavor. This variety was grown from seed from a Western North Carolina farmer’s market or co-op. Also one of my earliest ripening trees!
