Peach, China Pearl
Prunus persica 'China Pearl'
China Pearl Peach is a white-fleshed, freestone variety prized for its sweet, juicy flavor and excellent cold hardiness. This mid-season peach features beautiful, smooth skin with a creamy white background and a soft pink blush, making it both delicious and visually appealing. The flesh is firm yet melts in your mouth, with a high sugar content and a low acid profile, offering a delightful, sweet taste that's perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. China Pearl is also known for its resistance to bacterial spot, a common disease in peach trees, making it a reliable choice for growers in a variety of climates. Blooming in early spring with lovely pink flowers, this tree is self-pollinating, ensuring a consistent crop of flavorful peaches each season.
Key Characteristics
-
Sweet, White-Fleshed Fruit
China Pearl produces medium to large peaches with creamy white flesh and a subtle pink blush on its skin. The fruit is known for its sweet, low-acid flavor, making it ideal for those who enjoy a sweeter peach without the tanginess. It's perfect for eating fresh, adding to desserts, or making jams and preserves. -
Freestone Variety for Easy Harvesting
This peach is a freestone variety, meaning the pit separates easily from the flesh, making it easy to prepare and enjoy. The firm texture holds up well for slicing, baking, and canning, providing versatility in the kitchen for any peach lover. -
Mid-Season Harvest with Consistent Yields
Ripening in late June to July, China Pearl offers a reliable mid-season harvest, providing a steady supply of sweet, juicy peaches as summer heats up. Its self-pollinating nature means that even a single tree can produce a good yield, making it perfect for home orchards. -
Disease Resistance and Cold Hardiness
China Pearl is known for its resistance to bacterial spot, a common disease that can affect peach trees, making it easier to grow and maintain in humid or variable climates. Additionally, its cold hardiness allows it to thrive in regions that experience cooler winters, providing resilience in USDA zones 6-8. -
Attractive Pink Spring Blossoms
In early spring, China Pearl Peach trees are covered with showy pink blossoms, creating a beautiful floral display that attracts bees and other pollinators. The flowers add ornamental value to your garden, making it as beautiful as it is productive.
