The study was conducted to evaluate peach varieties for their growth, yield and quality performance under Holetta condition. The treatments consisted of six peach varieties including McRed (standard check). The trial was laid in randomized complete block design with three replications. The result indicated statistically similar tree height across the growing seasons except in 2006 and 2007. Tropic beauty, 9A-35C, McRed, 88-18W and 90-19H showed better plant height in their order. All varieties had statistically significant parity in canopy spread in all growing seasons except in 2010. However, there was significant difference in trunk cross-sectional area across all seasons. Tropic beauty and 90-19H exhibited better trunk cross-sectional area. Highly significant differences in mean marketable and total fruit yield, fruit number per tree and average fruit weight were observed. The mean total fruit yields of Tropic beauty and 90-19H were 69.03 and 56.23 t ha-1, respectively. These varieties had 45.0 and 32.5% yield advantage over the standard check, McRed. Moreover, varieties 90-19H, Tropic beauty and 88-22C had better mean fruit numbers per tree and fruit weight (78.12, 76.06, and 76.06 g in aforementioned order) as compared to others. In terms of fruit quality, there were significant differences among varieties regarding total soluble solid, titratable acidity, fruit diameter and ripening index. Variety 9A-35C has the highest TSS (13.67%) while variety 88-18W has the highest TA (1.03%) and fruit diameter (5.76 cm) and followed by Tropic beauty (0.95% and 5.46 cm, respectively). Variety 90-19H exhibited superior ripening index and the least was obtained from 88-18W.
