When do eagle-beak peaches ripen? An introduction to the harvest and market time
Eagle-beak peaches basically all ripen in July. Among them, the “Shangping eagle-beak honey peach” of Lianping County, Heyuan City is famous for its bright color, large fruit, tender flesh, and sweet, crisp taste. It is sold far away to large and medium-sized cities in the Pearl River Delta, and its reputation is growing day by day. Demand exceeds supply, and it has become one of the most popular “green fruits” among consumers in the Guangdong region.
1. What is the annual yield of eagle-beak peaches?
The tree is vigorous, and fruiting mainly occurs on medium and long fruiting branches. The starting node of flower buds is relatively high, there are many single flower buds, cold resistance is weak, and the yielding capacity is medium. A 2-year-old tree can already bear fruit, and in the full fruiting period the yield per mu can reach more than 600 kg.
The tree habit is relatively upright. One-year-old branches are green with reddish brown on the back, and 2-year-old branches are grayish brown. The leaves are long elliptical lanceolate, 13.50 cm long and 3.60 cm wide, with acuminate tips and cuneate bases, green in color, and flat leaf surfaces. The flowers are rose-form, the pistil is higher than the stamens, and there is no pollen. The fruit shape is good, the quality is medium, the flesh is highly fibrous and can be processed, and it stores and transports well. The disadvantages are severe pit splitting, flower buds that are not cold resistant, and unstable yield. It can be used as original breeding material.
The fruit is elliptical or obovate-round, with a longitudinal diameter of 7.90 cm, a transverse diameter of 6.30 cm, and a side diameter of 6.40 cm; the average fruit weight is 147.0 g, and the largest fruit weighs 162.0 g.
