'China Pearl' is a high chilling (1100-
1200 chill units), late flowering, white
flesh peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
with high flower bud cold hardiness during dormancy and bloom.
It is expected to
be adapted to areas where 'Contender' has
been grown successfully.
Trees have
small, reniform leaf glands, and large,
showy flowers and produce large, attractive fruit with low flesh acidity.
Fruit show
70% attractive red color over a creamgreen
ground color.
Fruit ripen in early August in south central North Carolina, about
14 days after 'Contender'. Fruit flesh is
melting and freestone.
