What are the characteristics of the peach variety Ruiguang 3?

It was bred by the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences through hybridization of Jingyu x NJN76. The original code was 81-25-10, selected in 1986, approved and named in 1997.

The fruit is nearly round, with a regular shape and a flat apex; average single fruit weight is 145 g, maximum fruit weight 235 g; the ground color of the skin is greenish-white, with 75% of the fruit surface covered by a red blush, and the skin does not peel away from the flesh; the flesh is white with a small amount of red pigment, juicy, sweet in flavor, with a faint aroma; soluble solids 11.5%. Semi-clinging stone. The tree is relatively vigorous, with a relatively strong growth habit and a relatively spreading tree form. Flower buds are plump, with the first flower bud node at the fourth node, many compound flower buds, small flower type, and abundant pollen. High yielding. In the Zhengzhou area of Henan, it blooms on April 3, and the fruit ripens in early July, with a fruit development period of about 90 days.

This variety has large fruit, good color, above-average quality, and extremely high productivity. It is the first generation of excellent white-fleshed sweet nectarine lines bred in our country. However, the fruit does not store or transport well, and in years with abundant rain, fruit cracking occurs. It can be developed in appropriate amounts in the northern regions of our country.
