The "Sunhigh" is a yellow-fleshed peach cultivar cultivated in 1938 by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) at Rutgers University.[1] The fruit is sized at 2.5 to 3 inches with 75-100% of maximum red color, and its storage temperatures range from 32° to 40° F.[2]
Cultivation
The peach cultivar is exposed to Rhizopus nest rots if left untreated, and usage of captan caused 63% of the peaches to cause decay.[3] A 1969 study notices size differences caused by irrigation.[4]
