Abstract:
'UFSun' peach, [Prunus persica (L.)
Batsch], is released for grower trial by the
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station.
Trees produce attractive, sweet tasting,
yellow and non-melting flesh, semiclingstone
fruit intended for fresh use.
'UFSun' is suggested for central and south
Florida from Tampa to Orlando and south of
Interstate 4. It may be used to replace
'UFGold' (5) peach in south Florida because
it sets fruit more reliably at Immokalee,
especially under night temperatures near and
above 14°C during bloom to shuck split (3).
'UFSun' originated from a 1995 cross of Fla.
90-50cn nectarine x 'UFGold' peach, was
selected and propagated in 1997, and tested
as Fla. 97-20c.
Fla. 90-50cn originated as an
F2 of Fla. 84-18c (Diamante op) x Fla. 9-20c
[complex parentage in (5)].
