Title: Peach and Nectarine Variety Performance in Kentucky

Abstract:
Aware of the desirability of replacing
some of older standard peach
varieties, we planted and/or topworked
some 10 to 40 trees of a number
of promising varieties released
by plant breeders, about two years
ago.
In order to get as much information
as possible from these young trees
in 1966, one half of the fruit of each
variety were picked firm-ripe for
truck shipment; the second picking
was made one week later; and the last
fruit were picked soft-ripe for the orchard
freezer trade.
Harvest dates of
each picking were recorded, taking
into account that these two-year topworked
trees and three-year trees
were ripening five to seven days later
than fruit from mature trees were
likely to ripen.
