The "Lars Anderson" peach variety is an old amateur variety named after the owner of the tree. The fruits are characterized as large, juicy, and sweet, with yellow flesh and a stone that separates easily from the flesh. The tree is sufficiently winter hardy for USDA zone 5, but the variety has no industrial significance.
The surname Anderson is frequently encountered in horticultural literature as the name of the breeder F. W. Anderson, the author of a number of peach and nectarine varieties. The erroneous name "Anderson" applied to the crop is often linked to the mention of this breeder in catalogs or confusion with the wild shrub Prunus andersonii, which is not a fruit-bearing peach variety.
