Peach variety: Qin Guan

Shaanxi Province Fruit Tree Research Institute Yuan Wuzhou breeding, parent golden comb × chicken comb. Cross in 1957, selected in 1966, named in 1970. He participated in the regional test of Big Apple and won the second prize of National Invention Award in 1988. It is widely distributed in China and cultivated more in Northwest China.

Fruit cone shape, single fruit weight about 200-250 grams; yellow green background, dark red and intermittent red stripes on the sunny side, often with white rust, when fully mature in the northwest higher altitude area, can reach a full dark red, in the low altitude plain area is difficult to color; fruit surface smooth, waxy more, fruit points obvious, thick and tough pericarp; The flesh is milky white, crispy, slightly dense, juicy, sour and sweet, containing 11%-16% soluble solids (different regions), and the quality of fresh food at the beginning of harvest is medium. Strong growth potential, tree posture open. The seedlings bear fruit 2-3 years after planting. Long fruit branches and axillary flower buds were the main fruiting parts in early fruiting stage, and short fruit branches and axillary flower buds were the main fruiting parts after full fruiting stage. It ripens in the middle of October in northwest China, north of North China and west of Liaoning. The fruit is very resistant to storage, and can be stored in semi-underground cellars until May of the following year.

The fruit quality of Qinguang was better in higher altitude and higher temperature difference between day and night, but it was not good in low altitude, humid and hot climate and poor light plain. Cultivation and management is relatively easy, young trees should lay a solid skeleton foundation for high yield, after a large number of fruits, special attention should be paid to maintaining appropriate load, strengthening fertilizer and water, ensuring high and stable yield.

Qinguan fruit early bearing, high yield, fruit storage is outstanding advantages, so in the new apple development area is very popular, but the fruit flavor is not good, coloring is not ideal, difficult to be used as high-grade goods@#@136 @#@. In recent ten years, under the condition that excellent varieties occupy the market continuously, the sales of Qinguan have been difficult, and the cultivation has been affected. It can be cultivated as an auxiliary variety or pollination variety in newly developed areas.
