About LCpl. Edwin Reeve

Edwin Reeve of Cameron Road, Greerton spots the potential in a peach seedling growing by his pigsty. He had purchased peaches in Ōpōtiki that were said to have come from a missionary planted tree. In April 1909 the Bay of Plenty Times reported on the tree’s superior qualities, including heavy cropping, vigorous growth, a clingstone fruit and a skin that didn't mind being handled. It was reported that Māori called them paukina pititi, or pumpkin peach. Originally named Reeve’s Golden Peach, the tree was propagated for the public through cuttings by Auckland nursery D Hay and Son.
