***PF Lucky 13,

One of my most popular peach varieties

 It ripens 5 days after Redhaven and is completely freestone. PF Lucky 13 is currently my most popular peach variety. Many growers from Washington State to New Hampshire have reported that in the second or third leaf that have had particularly large crops of exceptional fruit and have subsequently planted a second block of PF Lucky 13 the following spring. The fruit remains on the tree more than 10 days after one might think it should be picked, similar to PF 23. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger remaining very firm. Almost all of the fruit from this variety is No. 1 quality. The tree is spreading, and very productive with good resistance to bac spot.

 Jerry Frecon, Fruit Agent, Rutgers University, likes this peach very much and gives it a high rating.

 A large southern Illinois grower reported that the 3 biggest growers in that area all have planted PF Lucky 13 and they are all very happy that they did.

 Lee Spencer, a Pennsylvania grower, says "PF Lucky 13 is an excellent all around variety". 

Growers in Alabama,Georgia and Missouri are reporting great success with this variety in their areas.

(2011) grower and farm marketer, Mike Churchill remarked what a sweet, great tasting peach PF Lucky 13 was.

(Clemson U. fruit alway 2 and 3/4")

This variety showed strikingly hardy characteristics in Dr. Robert Anderson's wood hardiness tests where temperatures went to 18 degrees below zero F. in January 2004 in Geneva N.Y.

***PF5 D Big

PF 5D Big ripens 24 days before Redhaven. Its large for such an early peach. It has exceptional 80% dark red color and excellent fruit quality. It is sweet and flavorful with split pits being minimal for such an early peach.

Mike Reeves, horticulture extension agent at Auburn University, Ala. and grower likes PF 5D Big much better than Sure Crop for the same season as it is much bigger and has fewer split pits.

***PF 8 BallTM

This early true FREESTONE peach variety ripens 10 days before Redhaven! It is a large peach for this early, it has high color, great texture, it is sweet and flavorful. It is bac spot resistant and hangs well on the tree. PF 8 Ball is a late bloomer. This variety being large and freestone so early is a winner for any peach grower who does retailing or wholesales to direct retailers.

(2010-2011 data Clemson U., 2 and 3/4", 11-14 brix) 

A West Virginia grower finds this freestone peach to be a winner under his conditions.

 
PF 8 Ball WhiteTM NEW

This early freestone white peach ripens 10 days before Redhaven the same as PF 8 Ball. It is very sweet with great flavor, texture and fruit quality. It has good size and is bac spot resistant. This is a great peach for the early season.

It is available at Boyer Nursery, 717-677-8558, in small quantities in 2012. Orders placed now will be available in 2013 at Freedom Tree Farm and in 2014 at Stark Bros. Nursery and Boyer Nursery.

 
PF Late 8 BallTM NEW

This early freestone variety ripens 5 days before Redhaven, in that void that we all have been endlessly trying to fill. Looking at this photo one can easily see the amazing quality of this early variety,(both inside and out). It's sweetness and flavor are even better than the picture. The fruit has good size and is bac spot resistant.

 I believe that in a few years PF Late 8 Ball TM will have out sold all of my other varieties because of it being a freestone ripening several days ahead of the Redhaven season with such amazing quality, sweetness and great flavor.

Orders placed now will be available at Stark Bros. Nursery and Freedom Tree Farms in 2014.

 Lee Spencer, Pa. Grower and Jerry Frecon, New Jersey Fruit evaluator both say " PF 9A-007 is a high quality peach and is particularly large for a relatively early peach with low bac spot susceptibility."

(For 4 years, fruit has been over 3" in diameter, Clemson U.)

The fruit is of much less quality than all other Flamin' Fury peach varieties but has been planted extensively as it ripens when there is not much else.

Ripens 3 days after Redhaven. It is one of my oldest selections and due to it's many outstanding fruit qualities has become a standard in the industry.

PF 17

Ripens 17 days after Redhaven. It is one of my oldest selections and as it has high quality, large fruit and particularly heavy yields it has become a standard in the industry.

***PF 11 Nectarine
