Fred W. Anderson, private fruit breeder of Le Grand, California, makes some interesting comments on nectarine breeding in the September, 1960 issue of the Western Fruit Grower. He is quoted as saying that although the newer yellow-fleshed varieties have been successful commercially, they lack flavor. He points out that good flavor in nectarine is linked with white flesh and has not been obtained in yellow-fleshed varieties. The industry finds yellow-fleshed varieties more acceptable because they do not show bruises as easily as do white varieties.
