Peach 'UF Best' (Prunus persica)
The 'UF Best' Peach is a high-quality, ultra-low chill (100-150 chill hours), early-maturing, non-melting, semi-clingstone peach variety! Whoa, that was a mouthfull. But seriously, this is the perfect peach for central-Florida growers. UF Best was recently developed by the University of Florida. This peach tree produces a large, lush canopy and fruits abundantly. Fruit is ripe and ready for harvest in April.
