Fireprince


Released by the USDA breeding program in Byron, GA in 1986.  Fireprince is a consistent producer with overall good fruit quality.  The variety is increasing in popularity and would probably be more popular, but many growers are generally satisfied with Majestic and Redglobe in the July 4th season.  Fireprince seems to tolerate mild winters better than other varieties in this season.  Fruit below were grown in Zone 4.

    Chill Req.:  800 C.U.,  Ripe: -15 D.B.E. ( about 6/30 in Central Texas)  Zones 1-4
