Late-Ripening Peaches? Or what?

Here are some photos of peach trees I planted in the spring of 2005. I do not have the names of them. Thing is, I planted 3 peach trees, and one of them I picked the fruit weeks ago. These other two look like they may just now be starting to get ripe. Actually one looks as if the peaches may be ripening, while the other still has pretty yellow peaches. Any suggestions? Will these peaches ripen any time soon? Or are they a sore of hit-or-miss loss because this is only the second season they have been in the ground?

Thanks for any help/advice.

When the peaches color up, they are nearing their ripening stage. Around here early varieties ripen in mid to late July. Ones like Red Haven ripen now, and later ones like Elbertas and such may wait until early September or late August to ripen.

Great to know, Indy!

I do think the one with the yellow peaches is Red Haven. The other is a white peach tree of some kind.

Thanks!
