Clemson University's annual Peach Field Day offered a chance to sample some of the hottest new varieties that may soon be available. IN SOUTH Carolina, they certainly know their peaches. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than at Clemson University's Musser Fruit Research Farm, where for the past 11 years, a cultivar evaluation program has reviewed hundreds of stone fruit varieties, in search of those best suited for commercial production. More than 350 cultivars have been studied, both in university trials and in grower test blocks. At the center of these efforts is Dr. Desmond Layne, a "Johnny Peach-seed," if you will. When he's not writing a "Stone Fruit" column for this publication, Layne acts as an associate professor of pomology and tree fruit specialist at Clemson.
