Imperiia: a spatial history of the Russian Empire

Gablits on peach trees

"They grow on both the northern and southern slopes of the mountains, but the best are found along the coast near Gurzuf and Sudak. They ripen in September, are of medium size, are white on outside and inside, and the flavor is not as good as it could be were the trees grafted. Near Sudak there is a particular variety with red flesh - but the flavor is unremarkable." (see page 75)
