Abstract
The ‘Croft’ peach is characterized by its production of early to mid-season ripening peaches that are semi-freestone, with yellow flesh, medium to dark red skin coloration, and good peach flavor that is at least comparable to that of other varieties maturing in its season. The dominant characteristic of the variety is its high resistance to peach leaf curl, Taphrina deformans (Berk.).
