Goldprince
Released by the USDA breeding program in
Byron, GA. Goldprince is gaining popularity as a variety to proceed (and possibly replace) Junegold in the southeastern U.S.
Fruit holds well on the tree, and splits are usually not a
problem. Goldprince has excellent firmness, color, and
flavor for an early peach. Size can be good if thinned well but
small fruit has been reported in low-chill years when bloom is
delayed by insufficient chilling. Cropping is
dependable and fruit tends to be elongated rather than round.
Fruit below were grown in Zone 4.
