ABSTRACT:
A new and distinct variety of peach tree, denominated ‘UFSharp’, has a low winter chilling requirement estimated at 325 chill units (cu). The tree is of medium size, has a moderate vigorous and upright growth habit. It has showy, pink flowers, and leaves with globose glands. Trees of ‘UFSharp’ are self-fertile and regularly bear heavy annual crops of early, mid-season fruit that are large for its ripening season. Fruit are uniformly firm and yellow with non-melting flesh which are clingstone. Fruit are oval, and uniform with substantially symmetrical shape, and have an attractive 50 to 70% bright red skin. The fruit of ‘UFSharp’ ripens about 6 days after ‘UF2000’ peach in late May at Gainesville, Fla.
