Product Name: Jinxia Zao Youpan Flat Nectarine
Description:
Jinxia Zao Youpan is a premium early-maturing flat nectarine variety, developed by the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences from the cross of "Zaofengtian" and "Jinxia Youpan". Recognized as a 2024 provincial leading agricultural variety, this exceptional cultivar combines early maturity, outstanding sweetness, and excellent marketability.
Appearance:
The fruit features a distinctive flat, saucer-like shape. It has smooth, glossy, hairless skin typical of nectarines. When unbagged, the entire fruit develops a beautiful full red color; when bagged, the skin turns a pure golden yellow – both highly attractive for retail sales. The flesh is bright yellow with a fine texture.
Flavor:
Exceptionally sweet and aromatic, with a soluble solids content of 15.2%–20.3%. The fruit is initially crisp and refreshing; when fully ripe, it becomes soft and wonderfully juicy with an intensely sweet flavor.
Size:
Average fruit weight ranges from 120g–155g, with large specimens reaching up to 271g under optimal management.
Growing Advantages:
Early-bearing – trees begin fruiting in the second year and reach full production by year 5, with yields of approximately 3,108 kg per mu. The slow-softening flesh ensures good storage and shipping tolerance, making it ideal for e-commerce and long-distance logistics. The variety shows strong adaptability across multiple growing regions, with simple cultivation requirements.
Harvest Season:
Mid-June (Nanjing region) to late June (Shandong region) – an early-season variety offering excellent market timing and premium pricing potential
