How are flat peach varieties? Introduction to excellent flat peach varieties

Flat peach 1. Zaolu flat peach variety characteristics: The tree posture is open, and the tree vigor is moderate. All types of fruiting branches can bear fruit, mostly compound flower buds, the starting node of flower buds is the 1st to 2nd node, and it is high-yielding. The flower is rose type, with a large amount of pollen. In the Zhengzhou area of Henan, the fruit ripens on June 10, and the fruit development period is 67 days. The chilling requirement is 750 hours. The fruit is medium-large, with an average single fruit weight of 68 grams and a maximum of 95 grams. The fruit shape is flat, the fruit apex is sunken, and the suture line is shallow; the base color of the peel is creamy yellow, 50% of the fruit surface is covered with a red blush, the fuzz is medium, and it is easy to peel; the flesh is milky white, slightly red near the pit, soft melting, fine texture, slightly fragrant, sweet flavor, soluble solids 9.0%, clingstone, small pit, and high edible rate of the fruit. Suitable growing areas and variety adaptability: Zaolu flat peach has strong adaptability and is suitable for planting in a vast range of areas except Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian. It performs well in protected cultivation in the north. Key points of cultivation techniques and precautions: (1) The fruit-setting rate is very high, so proper flower and fruit thinning is needed. (2) There is fruit cracking or pit cracking, so fruit bagging is needed when cultivating in the south. (3) The flesh is relatively soft, so pay attention to harvest maturity. (4) When harvesting, twist the fruit by hand rather than pulling it, otherwise the skin and pit may separate at the fruit stem (skin separation), and the fruit is prone to rotting. (5) Pay attention to applying base fertilizer in autumn to improve fruit quality. 2. Pan Tao Huang Hou variety characteristics: The tree vigor is moderate and strong, semi-open, all types of fruiting branches can bear fruit, the internodes are short, generally 1.54 cm long, flower formation is easy, there are many compound flower buds, and the starting node of flower buds is the 3rd node. The leaf is 13.26 cm long and 3.65 cm wide, the petiole is 0.78 cm long, and the leaf glands are kidney-shaped. The flower is rose type, with much pollen, and self-fruitful. The fruit development period is 70 to 73 days, and it ripens around June 13 in the Zhengzhou area, with a small groove crack at the fruit apex. The fruit is flat and large, with an average single fruit weight of 173 grams and large fruit 200 grams. 60% of the fruit surface has a rose-red blush. The flesh is white, hard melting, with a rich sweet flavor, soluble solids content 15%, aromatic, clingstone. Good yielding ability. Suitable growing areas and variety adaptability: Queen flat peach has fruit cracking, so it can be planted in areas north of the Yellow River and in protected cultivation in the north. Key points of cultivation techniques and precautions: (1) There is fruit cracking, so pay attention to rational irrigation and maintain soil moisture; when planting in the Huang-Huai-Hai region, fruit bagging should be carried out to prevent fruit cracking. (2) Other points are the same as Zaolu flat peach. 3. Nong Shen flat peach variety origin: Bred in New Jersey, USA, using NJ602903 (GoldenGolbe x R1T6) as the female parent and Pallas as the male parent, and named in 1985. Variety characteristics: The tree posture is semi-open, and the tree vigor is medium-strong. All types of fruiting branches can bear fruit, mostly compound flower buds, the starting node of flower buds is the 3rd to 4th node, and it is high-yielding; the flower is rose type, with a large amount of pollen. In the Zhengzhou area of Henan, it blooms in early April and the fruit ripens in mid-July, with a fruit development period of 100 days. The chilling requirement is 750 hours. Fruit characteristics: The fruit is medium-large, with an average single fruit weight of 90 grams and a maximum of 130 grams. The fruit shape is flat, and the fruit apex is sunken; the base color of the peel is milky white, with a bright red blush covering the whole surface, and the skin is easy to peel; the flesh is milky white, with little red near the pit, hard melting, crisp and sweet when firm-ripe, soft and juicy when fully ripe, with a rich sweet flavor, aromatic, soluble solids 10.7%, freestone. Suitable growing areas and variety adaptability: Nong Shen flat peach has strong adaptability and is suitable for cultivation in all peach-producing areas except Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian. Key points of cultivation techniques and precautions: (1) The fruit-setting rate is very high and the fruit is on the small side, so proper flower and fruit thinning is needed. (2) The fruit color is relatively deep, and fruit bagging can improve the appearance and make the color more attractive. (3) Apply more organic fertilizer and N, P, K compound fertilizer to increase fruit size. 4. Rui Pan No. 4 variety origin: In 1985, the Institute of Forestry and Pomology, Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences crossed late-maturing large flat peach as the female parent and Yangzhou 124 flat peach as the male parent, with the original code 85-1-12, and it was developed in 1994. Variety characteristics: The tree vigor is medium, semi-open. The flower is rose type, has pollen, the fruit-setting rate is high, and the yielding ability is good. In the Zhengzhou area, it blooms in early April, and the fruit ripens around August 15, with a fruit development period of 135 days. The chilling requirement is 700 to 750 hours.
