PALOMAR Varieties

PALOMAR is a short-day cultivar from California. It has greater fruit size and improved firmness. It has a tendency to produce fruit with a dry calyx during the very early part of the fruiting season. The extent of this problem varies with production site and year, and appears to be a physiological problem rather than a disease issue. Palomar is susceptible to Phytophthora cactorum root and crown rot, and preventative treatments should be applied as pre-plant dips as well as at regular intervals throughout the fruiting season.
