Junegold

Released by Armstrong Nursery in California in 1958.  Junegold has been a standard variety throughout the southeastern U.S. because of its large size and good firmness. Problems with high-percentage split pits and poor shape have caused it to fade in popularity lately.  Cropping and shape are greatly reduced in a low-chill year.

  Chill Req.:  650 C.U.,  Ripe: -51 D.B.E. ( about 5/25 in Central Texas).  Zones: 3-4
