Title: 'Gulfking' Peach
Authors: T.G. Beckman, G.W. Krewer and W.B. Sherman
Abstract:
'Gulfking' peach is jointly released for
grower trials by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service, the
Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station, and
the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station.
The 'Gulf' prefix indicates this cultivar was
developed for the lower coastal plain which
is largely the Gulf of Mexico region of North
America, but also includes a small portion
of the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina
to Florida.
Trees of 'Gulfking' 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 cultivars.
