| Description |
'Late Ross' originated as a scaffold mutation of unknown causation of the `Ross` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,863). The new cultivar forms attractive fruit that is well suited for canning which matures approximately ten days later than that of the parent `Ross` cultivar. Commonly a distinct red stripe is formed on the suture line of the fruit. 'Late Ross' is believed to be substantially identical to those of the `Ross` cultivar. The later fruit maturity offers fruit growers and canneries more flexibility in the harvesting and canning of the fruit crop through the simultaneous growing of the `Ross` cultivar. Very pleasant, mild and well balanced flavor. Firm, very fine texture, and non-melting. Very good canning quality as well as a good eating quality peach. The tree is vigorous and very productive with an upright spreading growth habit. |
