Title: 'Gulfcrest' Peach
Authors: G.W. Krewer, W.B. Sherman and T.G. Beckman
Abstract:
'Gulfcrest' peach is jointly released for
grower trials by the Georgia Agricultural
Experiment Station, the Florida Agricultural
Experiment Station, and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture - Agricultural Research
Service.
The 'Gulf prefix indicates that this
cultivar was developed for the lower coastal
plain which is largely the Gulf of Mexico
region, but also includes a small portion
of the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina
to Florida.
Trees of 'Gulfcrest' produce an
attractive, sweet-tasting, yellow and nonmelting
flesh fruit intended for the fresh fruit
market.
It is expected to produce fruit with
tree-ripened aroma and taste while retaining
firmness for longer shelf life than fruit from
conventional melting-flesh, fresh market
cultivars.
