Title: 'UFBeauty' and 'UFBlaze' Peaches
Authors: W.B. Sherman and P.M. Lyrene
Abstract:
'UFBeauty' and 'UFBIaze' peaches
[Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] are released
for grower trials by the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station.
Trees of both cultivars
produce attractive, sweet tasting, yellow and non-melting flesh (nmf) fruit
intended for fresh use.
As with most nmf
fruit, these can be harvested "tree ripe",
with full flavor and aroma, while retaining
firmness for longer shelf life than fruit from
melting flesh cultivars.
Both cultivars
originated from a 1995 cross of Fla.90-50 cn x 'UFGold' (Fig. 1). Fla.90-50 cn was
a nmf nectarine selection with the nmf gene
originating from two sources, one from a
Brazilian genotype and the other from
old US cultivars and tracing back to 'Chinese Cling'. Fla.90-50cn originated as a
full sib of 'UFGold'. 'UFBeauty' and
'UFBIaze'were selected in 1997 and 1998,
and tested as Fla. 97-5c and Fla. 98-1 c, respectively.
