C&O Nursery is proud to offer this new series of peaches from the Paul Friday
Peach breeding program. All peaches in these series bear large red fruit, are bacterial
spot-resistant and very winter hardy.
All cultivars in this series have good flavor and shipping quality. All selections stay
hard for long periods of time after reaching 60%+ red color and can be harvested in three
pickings or less, as they continue to pick up color until they are 90% red.
The ripening dates of these peaches span the time period from three weeks before Redhaven
to way past the Fayette season.
C&O Nursery will be carrying 16 of the FLAMIN' FURY® peaches this spring:
PF 1, PF 5B, PF Early 8 Ball, PF 7, PF 8 Ball, PF 9A-007, PF Lucky 13, PF 15A,
PF 17, PF 19-007, PF 23, 24-007, PF 24C, PF 27A, PF 28-007 and PF 35-007.
"F" denotes freestone; "C" clingstone; "SC" semi-clingstone

P F 5B, SC. Ripens 5 days after PF 1. Brilliant red color with yellow background. 90% red, good sized, beautiful fruit. Crops well and is somewhat bacterial spot resistant.
P F Early 8 Ball, SC. 15 days earlier than Redhaven. High color with good flavor. Hangs well on the tree.

P F Lucky 13, F. Picks 1 week after Redhaven. Large, extremely firm fruit, which remains on the tree very firm. Keeps growing when you thought it should have been picked.
