New extremely late-ripening peach variety Qiuhong Wanmi has arrived
China has few extremely late-ripening peach varieties. Existing varieties such as Zhonghua Shengtao and Zhonghua Shoutao have poor cold resistance, resulting in a relatively small market supply in late October. An excellent strain, 'Yuhong Wanmi', was selected from the local excellent peach resource strain 'Qiumi' in Fengrun District, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. In December 2006, it passed the examination and approval of the Hebei Provincial Forest Tree Variety Approval Committee and was named 'Qiuhong Wanmi'.
