Introduction to the Zaohongxia Peach Variety and Its Main Characteristics
Extremely early-ripening white-fleshed sweet peach. The fruit is nearly oblong, with an average single-fruit weight of 96-130 g and a maximum fruit weight of 170 g; the color is bright, with more than 80% covered by bright red stripe markings; the flesh is soft and melting, fine in texture, with a sweet or very sweet flavor and a slight aroma; soluble solids 9%-11%, quality medium. Clingstone. Good storage and transport tolerance. In the Beijing area it ripens in open field from June 22-26.
This variety has fairly good productivity, rose-type flowers, abundant pollen, and relatively large fruit, but the fruit shape is slightly less than round and regular, and occasionally 5%-10% or fewer of the fruits develop slight fruit cracking.
