Brazilian researchers have developed a variety of peach tree that allows harvesting after the regular harvest period, which fills a gap in the fruit's supply on the market. BRS Sarau is suitable for fresh consumption and has high quality, firm pulp, sweet flavor and low acidity.
With an estimated productivity of 20 tons per hectare, it is recommended for cultivation in the South and Southeast regions of the country, traditional producers of fruit for table consumption. Embrapa is now looking for nurserymen to reproduce the cultivar, multiply it and sell it to fruit growers. Therefore, the new fruit will still take some time to reach market shelves.
