Description

FlavrBurstTM is a new variety (KV000398, plant patent applied for) introduced by Dr. Ralph Scorza, USDA-ARS in Kearneysville, WV. This peach has consistently shown great size and a beautiful red color on a yellow background. Perhaps FlavrBurst's most favorable quality is its exceptional flavor, exhibiting a sound balance of acid and sugar. This is a firm, melting-flesh, freestone, yellow-fleshed peach. The tree is very productive and crops annually. May be somewhat susceptible to bacterial spot and should be trialed before planted heavily where bacterial spot is a serious problem. From Adams County Nursery.

Key

  • Evaluations are based on a 1-8 scale (6=OK,7=Commercially acceptable, 8=Excellent)
  • Size is in inches
  • Shape: round is assumed, T=tip, P=point, S=suture, OB=oblate, OV=ovate
  • Pubescence: 10=nectarine
  • Blush: presented as percentage of ground color cover with red or similar
  • Freeness: 3=early cling, 8=completely free
  • Status: 0=discard, 1=keep
  • Notes: SOS=soft on suture, SOT=soft on tip, RIF=red in flesh, GAS=green around stem
  • RAP=red around pit, GGC=green ground color, sz=size, wh=white, yt=young tree, CCT=concave tip
  • Bloom date is when approx. 90% of blooms are open (full bloom)

The description of each variety of peach or nectarine fruit under each group is in different formats as this information is collected from varied sources and hence is not consistent
