breeding Cross pollination?

I have a sugar rush peach growing near a Hungarian hot wax.

The most recent pods on the Hungarian have taken on the zig-zag shape of the peach.

Do I assume they cross-pollinated?
 
No. Cross pollination manifests in the seeds from a crossed pod. Your fruit this year shouldn't be affected by it aside from what grows from the seeds inside next year.

Unless he grew both the same way last year and the seeds he planted this year were from a pod that crossed last year.  :lol: 
 
But yeah cross pollination does not effect this years growth - it will only show up in the plants from the seeds in the pod that was crossed when they are grown in following years.
