Madison

Yellow peach; freestone. Don't be fooled by the pale color - this variety was selected for its amazing flavor rather than its red blush. Released by the Virginia Station. Circa 1963.

Margaret

Yellow peach; freestone. A favorite from our own fruit breeding program, you’ll find this scarlet beauty nowhere else. Despite its smaller size, it has a strong peachy flavor with a great sugar content that balances the flavors perfectly.

Messina

Yellow peach; freestone. Developed by the New Jersey AES at Rutgers University.
