Abstract

Vast changes have taken place in the Georgia peach industry in the past few years. Varieties which were unknown ten years ago now dominate current plantings. Nearly two million trees were planted by commercial growers in Georgia during the period 1954-57. Two-thirds of these trees were set in the South Georgia Peach Section mainly around Fort Valley. A survey was conducted during the spring of 1957 which included a complete enumeration of peach trees by ages and by varieties in orchards of ten or more acres. This type information is invaluable to growers in planning future planting and appraising market prospects.
