It is expected that native peach varieties have useful characters, especially bacterial leaf spot resistance and water tolerance. However, the number of native peach varieties rapidly decreased in recent years. It is necessary to collect and preserve them as a genetic resources. The present exploration for native peaches were carried out at Okayama prefecture from August 31 to September 1 in 1993. During this exploration, scions for bud grafting were collected from 11 trees and fruits were also collected from 7 trees. Fruit weight varied from 10. 7g to 33.8g. Freestone and clingstone types were observed. One sample was nectarine. These native peach varieties were expected to have water tolerance because natural habitat of them located in riverside or damside where the soil was relatively humid.
