Your Pick Of Peach Varieties

For the past 30 years, we have been evaluating peach cultivars from the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station fruit breeding program and other programs, as well as nurseries and growers. Our goal has been to find the best cultivars for the New Jersey peach industry and to determine which cultivars were not adapted to growing conditions and market needs in our state.

The New Jersey peach industry has historically been focused on growing and marketing yellow-fleshed peach varieties with complete red color underlain with a bright yellow-orange skin, large size, low pubescence, and a firm, highly-flavored flesh. Trees need to be regularly productive and vigorous, with low susceptibility to major peach diseases, especially bacterial spot which is common in New Jersey. Productivity is evaluated by recording tolerance to winter and spring low temperature, date of bloom, and level of fruit set. Since the last severe winter in 1994, low temperature sensitivity has become less of a factor. Other unusual characteristics are also noted with the hope of finding niche or novel varieties with yellow flesh.

New Jersey has a long history of peach production dating back to the 1600s. While production has declined in recent years due to lack of profitability. New Jersey’s soil and climate are ideally suited for peaches and the state and surrounding areas are important markets because of the large population consuming peaches in the region.

The majority of the New Jersey peach growers with large acreage pack and market yellow-fleshed peaches wholesale. Most of these growers along with other growers also market directly to consumers. Peach varieties are evaluated with these markets as an objective.

Annual recommendations are made from these evaluations in production guides, fact sheets, newsletters, at meetings, and conferences, and via other methods of information delivery. Over the years these recommendations have been presented and delivered to growers across the eastern and midwestern U.S. and Colorado.

The following are some of our most recent suggestions for yellow fleshed-peach varieties. These suggested varieties are listed by season of ripening in southern New Jersey and relative to the standard variety Redhaven. Dates of ripening will likely be later in more northern areas.
