'Tulip' Peach Released from the
Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station
(PH-128)
(An open pollinated seedling of 'Sunbeam')
Much of the description of the
'Missouri' will apply to
this variety. The greatest difference lies in the ripening date. 'Tulip'
ripens six to seven weeks before 'Elberta', ahead of 'Marigold' and
'Mikado'. It
is the best extra-early, yellow fleshed peach grown at the station. The
fruit is medium to large in size, nearly round, and possesses good color
before picking time. It has short fuzz, fine texture and excellent flavor;
has firm flesh and will stand shipping. A semi-freestone. Introduced 1947.
