Bred at Louisiana State University, this reliable cultivar produces sweet, yellow-fleshed fruit that ripens in mid to late summer, even in the Deep South. With excellent resistance to bacterial spot and adaptability to low-chill conditions, La Feliciana is a top choice for Gulf Coast growers, low-spray orchards, and southern permaculture systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"623\" data-start=\"600\"\u003eKey Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"668\" data-start=\"627\"\u003eSweet, Yellow-Fleshed Freestone Fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"671\" data-start=\"668\"\u003eLa Feliciana produces medium to large peaches with golden-yellow skin and minimal blush, and firm, juicy, sweet flesh that separates easily from the pit.
