Abstract:

‘Pin Xia’ is a new variety of ornamental peach derived from a cross of Prunus persica × davidiana by artificial pollination method in Beijing Botanical Garden (BBG). The male parent is the Prunus persica × davidiana ‘Bai Hua Shan Bi Tao’, and the female parent is the Prunus persica ‘He Huan Er Se Tao’. Cross-breeding and selection were conducted during 1994 to 1996 in BBG. The hybrids, grown from seeds, started to flower in 1998, and a pink variation (69A,RHS) was found and it flowed earlier than the female parent significantly and similar to the male parent. The following years’ propagation showed that the characteristics of this cultivar are uniform and stable. Prunus persica × davidiana ‘Pin Xia’ is suitable for the garden.

Key words: Prunus persica ×, davidiana &lsquo, Pin Xia&rsquo, new variety
