Peach Caldesi 2000

The tree has vigorous, upright growth. The branches are moderately covered with flower buds along their entire length. The flowers are dark pink, medium-sized, and bell-shaped. It bears fruit early and, under suitable conditions, produces very high yields. It is self-fertile. The fruit ripens at the end of July and is medium-sized and elongated. The skin is bright red with a bright red external coloration. The flesh is firm and white, although red discoloration is common; it is juicy, sweet, and harmonious in flavor, with an aroma typical of white-fleshed peaches. It requires a sunny, warm, wind-protected location and well-structured soil. Its water requirements are moderate. Winter spraying should be carried out before bud break, in January or February, or possibly at the beginning of March, in dry weather. Autumn spraying should be carried out after the leaves have fallen, in frost-free weather. Formative pruning is required while the tree is young. The fruit is suitable for fresh consumption and culinary processing.
