Introduction to the characteristics of the peach variety Yuhualu

Variety registration number: GS14001-1992.

Variety source: Baihua Shuimi X Shanghai Shuimi (early), bred in 1975.

Characteristics: The tree vigor is medium to strong, the tree posture is spreading, the branches are evenly distributed, there are many compound flower buds, the fruiting performance of fruit branches is good, the fruit set rate is about 45%, and the yield stability is good. The fruit ripens early, generally ripening in mid-June, with a fruit development period of 75-78 days. The fruit is oblong, with an average fruit weight of about 125 grams and a maximum of 200 grams. The fruit skin is creamy yellow, with a red blush at the top, and the flesh is milky white, soft and juicy, with a rich sweet flavor and abundant fragrance. The fruit is large and attractive, of excellent quality, high and stable yielding, with relatively strong resistance and wide adaptability. The ripening period is early, generally ripening in mid-June in Jiangsu.

Cultivation points: In pruning, combine thinning with heading back, prune in a timely manner in summer, avoid excessive vegetative growth, promptly pinch the growing tips to promote branching, and use secondary branches for fruiting. For young trees, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on the basis of nitrogen fertilizer; for mature trees, apply base fertilizer in autumn, and after harvest mainly apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as a top dressing to promote flower bud differentiation. Because the flower buds are borne low and there are many compound flower buds with good yield stability, in normal years flowers and fruits should be thinned in time to enlarge the fruit shape and improve commercial quality.

Suitable range: Promoted in juicy peach cultivation areas such as Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Fujian, Anhui, and Shandong.
