Description

A release from the breeding program of Dr. Ralph Scorza, USDA-ARS Kearneysville, WV. Summerfest is a high-quality freestone with excellent balance of sweetness and acidity. It is an upright tree form that is well-suited for high density production systems (i.e. eight feet apart in the tree row).
