Abstract: Texas and other regions with a similar climate are now able to produce a fresh peach which could be marketed in early spring, given adequate prices. This research indicates that peach size, origin, and competing fresh fruits influence weekly spring peach prices. In view of the precipitous seasonal spring decline in fresh peach price, potential producers must give attention to early varieties, whereas later-maturing varieties may be profitable as a result of the observed premium associated with fruit whose diameters exceed 2.25 inches.
