Title: ´Don Agustin,` ´TropicSnow` and ´Fla. 1-8` Peaches for Central Argentina
Authors: G. Valentini, L. Arroyo and W. Sherman
Abstract:
The central peach growing region of Argentina, which includes the northeastern part of Buenos Aires
and southern part of Santa Fe provinces, mainly supplies the domestic market from late October to early
February.
Cultivars are the cornerstone of the peach industry and testing new genotypes is necessary to
replace or supplement the existing cultivars in the industry.
'Don Agustin,' was released in 1999 for trial plantings in this region. 'TropicSnow' and Fla. 1-8, have
also received good evaluations. 'Don Agustin' ripens in 'Springcrest' season with superior fruit size and
productivity. 'TropicSnow' ripens with 'June Gold' and is the season's first freestone, white flesh peach.
It has large fruit size, attractive skin color and high flavor.
Fla. 1-8 ripens in 'Flordaking' season with
large fruit size, attractive skin, and good firmness in spite of irregular annual productivity.
