Abstract

The low-chill stonefruit industry in Australia has developed rapidly over the last decade coinciding with the release of low-chill cultivars bred at the University of Florida. Main cultivars currently grown are ‘Flordaprince,’ ‘Flordagold,’ ‘Maravilha’ and ‘Sherman's Red’ peach; and ‘Sunred’, ‘Sundowner’, ‘Fla. 5-14N’ and ‘Sunripe’ nectarine. Recent releases from Florida are currently being assessed and will replace some current commercial cultivars in the near future.
