in 2012. It may not produce fruits as large as does ‘BRS Fascínio’ but it has superior ap- pearance, better shape, color, and flavor.  Origin. ‘BRS RubraMoore’ originated from a controlled cross, made in 2004, be- tween selection Cascata 1029 and cv. Chi- marrita. Selection Cascata 1029 comes from Embrapa’s program, from a cross between another Embrapa’s selection, Cascata 655 and a selection of the University of Arkan- sas program, A 236 (Fig. 1). The name ‘Ru- braMoore’ is in honor of one of the greatest fruit breeders, Dr. James N. Moore, Emeritus Professor of the University of Arkansas (de-

ceased in January 2017).  Young plants of the 2004 cross, were planted in the experimental field in Embrapa, 31°40’47”S; 52°20’24”W, in 2005. In 2007 and 2008 the progeny was evaluated and the plant number 2 was denominated as Cascata 1579. The tree was propagated by budding and planted in Embrapa’s peach collection. Since the fruit quality was outstanding, com- pared to the others, in 2010, new plants were budded and were planted in 14 observation trials in various States.  Plant description. ‘BRS RubraMoore’ trees have medium vigor and semi-vertical
