The central peach growing region of Argentina, which includes the northeastern part of Buenos Aires and southern part of Santa Fe provinces, mainly supplies the domestic market from late October to early February. Cultivars are the cornerstone of the peach industry and testing new genotypes is necessary to replace or supplement the existing cultivars in the industry.
‘Don Agustín, was released in 1999 for trial plantings in this region. TropicSnow and Fla. 1-8, have also received good evaluations. Don Agustín ripens in Springcrest season with superior fruit size and productivity. TropicSnow ripens with June Gold and is the season's first freestone, white flesh peach. It has large fruit size, attractive skin color and high flavor. Fla. 1-8 ripens in Flordaking season with large fruit size, attractive skin, and good firmness in spite of irregular annual productivity.
