Kathy, Peaches with split pits will mold on the inside because air is
available to the inside of a peach. Split pits are usually caused by
too much rain. Also earwigs which have no interest in the peach flesh
enjoy living in the open space of the split pit. A little molding
around split pit fruit is usually okay. Split pit fruit is considered
number 2 fruit and should be purchased only from the farmer at a
discount price.CC
