University of Florida develops new peach tree variety called UF Sun
Recently, the University of Florida developed a peach tree variety with even less chill hour requirements than the “Florida Prince”. The new variety is called “UF Sun”. It would be nice to hear if anyone is growing this new variety in the deep south of Florida such as Homestead. Also, it will be interesting to see how it compares to the one of the best varieties for South Florida known as the “Florida Prince” since this new variety seems to require even less chill hours and produces bigger peaches than the “Florida Prince” according to some.
