Introduction to the fruit of the peach cultivar Cangfang Zaosheng

A Japanese cultivar, bred by Ihizo Kurashige in 1945 from a cross between (Tuscan x White Peach) and a seedling (a non-melting early-maturing cultivar). Named in 1951. Introduced into China in 1966.

The fruit is round and fairly symmetrical, with a round and flat apex; the average single fruit weight is 127 g, and the largest fruit weight is 206 g; the skin is milky white, with dark red spots or a blush on the sun-facing side, and is not easy to peel; the flesh is milky white with a slight red tinge, firm-melting, sweet in flavor, and aromatic; soluble solids 12.0%. Clingstone. The tree is vigorous and semi-spreading in habit. Young trees bear fruit mainly on long fruiting branches; as the tree ages, medium and short fruiting branches increase, and the first flower bud node is from the second to the fourth node. In the Zhengzhou area of Henan, it blooms in early April, and the fruit ripens in early July; the fruit development period is 88 days. The flower is of the rose type, and the pollen is abortive.

This cultivar has large fruit and fine, dense flesh, and is an excellent fresh-eating cultivar. The pollen is sterile, so pollinizer trees need to be planted.
