'Ozark' Peach Released from the
Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station
(PH-820)
('Frank' X 'Hale Haven')
This is a large, full red peach ripening about ten days
ahead of 'Elberta'. It is a yellow-fleshed freestone, with sufficient
firmness to make it a good shipper. In 1944 when a spring freeze destroyed
the 'Elberta' crop, the 'Ozark' had a 100 percent crop, indicating bud and
bloom hardiness. The flesh is fine grained with an excellent flavor. The
original tree has borne full crops the last four years. It colors well
before harvest time. Introduced 1946.
