Peach Variety Adaptability to Southern Conditions

Abstract

The importance of knowing the adaptability of peach varieties and their behavior under local conditions in planning a future orchard is well recognized. Fortunately some peach varieties are adapted Lo a wide range of conditions. The Elberta peach, for example, has been the, leading variety in most important freestone peach growing areas for many years. It is perhaps significant that this variety was first evaluated under southern conditions.
