Very good flavor, some red pigments in the flesh (SSC/TA 11.67)
Description
Released from Clemson University in 2005. Seedling originated from a cross of 'Springbrite' x pollen mix (mix of many early ripening cultivars) made in 1983 by D.W. Cain. The selection was made by W.C. Newall, Jr. in 1986. It was subsequently tested as SC83032-17-145. Additional testing of 'Carored' has been carried out at sites in Edgefield and Orangeburg counties of SC. Carored has non-showy self-fertile blossoms that sets heavily. Leaf glands are reniform. It ripens 3-4 days before 'Junegold' that it may replace.
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
