The overlapping double cropping system occurs in low-chill feral peaches in east coastal areas of Australia. This system also occurs in recently introduced low-chill Florida bred cultivars. The overlapping double cropping system consists of partial predormancy bloom, winter fruit growth, and postdormancy harvest plus the normal postdormancy bloom and harvest with a 4 to 6 week difference between harvests. Research on enhancing this system has led to the early single cropping system which consists of total postdormancy bloom, winter fruit growth and early spring harvest. The 2 cropping systems are enhanced by timing of predormancy defoliation and bloom as regulated by water stress and nutrition.
