Abstract
A new peach variety ( Prunus persica ) designated as ‘Kader’ is provided. ‘Kader’ forms attractive, high quality fruit that matures approximately six to ten days earlier than that of the ‘Andross’ variety and demonstrates a capacity to maintain good on-tree fruit quality for up to one week, allowing delayed harvest and economically efficient single harvests. Further, ‘Kader’ fruit exhibits the desirable characteristic of being free from the red staining of the pit area of fruit flesh resulting from anthocyanin formation, while still exhibiting other fruit characteristics that are believed to be substantially similar to those of the commercially important ‘Carson’ and ‘Andross’ peach varieties.
