The USDA-ARS stone fruit program at Byron, GA has released two new early season peach cultivars named \u2018May Joy\u2019 (Fig. 1) and \u2018Cardinal Joy\u2019 (Fig. 2). \u2018May Joy\u2019 requires ~650 chill hours and produces yellow-fleshed, clingstone fruit that typically ripen approximately a week before \u2018Flavorich\u2019 and 2-3 weeks before \u2018Carored\u2019 in early to mid May in Byron, GA. \u2018May Joy\u2019 fills an earlier season niche than currently planted cultivars. \u2018Cardinal Joy\u2019 requires ~850 chill hours and produces yellow-fleshed, semi-freestone fruit. The fruit typically ripen about a week after ‘Flavorich’ and a few days before \u2018\u2018Carored\u2019 in mid to late May in Byron, GA. \u2018Cardinal Joy\u2019 is a promising higher chilling requirement alternative in the early season. Both new cultivars are suited for trial in areas wherever \u2018Flavorich\u2019 and \u2018Carored\u2019 are grown. Prospective licensees and requesters for the materials may contact USDA, ARS, Office of Technology Transfer at 5601 Sunnyside Ave, Room 4-1192, Beltsville, MD 20705-5131, USA or via license@usda.gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
