About a month ago, my peaches and cream started blooming at the same time Charles Grimaldi was blooming like crazy. I removed the anthlers from a couple CG flowers and pollinated all of the flowers. I didn't think any of them took until I saw this! I went running into the house and grabbed my partner who was thrilled to see the pods. This is someone who doesn't get excited about too much in the garden. I'm hoping he'll catch the "brug bug" some day. (On a side note, we got engaged this summer :) ).

How long does it take for pods to mature? This gal will get a nice spot in a sunny window to encourage her to keep developing her pods. Does anyone know if peaches and cream has ever been hybridized with CG before?
