‘Forastero’ peach is being jointly released by USDA and INTA in Argentina for use in that country. It provides a yellow, freestone peach ripening between ‘Flavorcrest’ and ‘Redglobe’ which is the lucrative Christmas market season. ‘Forastero’ has a fruit developmental period of about 112 days and a chilling requirement of 500 hours. Flowers are non-showy, and leaf glands are globose. ‘Forastero,’ which can be translated ‘Newcomer,’ is not recommended for use in the United States, nor is it available.
