Abstract

Low-chill peaches and nectarines, possessing characteristics acceptable in U.S. markets and maturing in April and May, are being evaluated for adaptation to subtropical climatic conditions. Cultivars developed in the 1980’s as ‘EarliGrande,’ ‘Flordaprince,’ ‘FlordaGrande,’ ‘TropicSweet,’ ‘TropicBeauty,’ and ‘TropicSnow’ have high fruit quality not previously available and require 200 or less chilling units making them adapted to subtropical environments. These cultivars are being commercially produced in the Lower Rio Grande Valley for fresh market.
