Abstract: ‘Pin Hong’ is a new variety of ornamental peach, derived from a cross of Prunus persica × davidiana by artificial pollination in Beijing Botanical Garden (BBG). The male parent is the P. persica × davidiana‘Bai Hua Shan Bi Tao’, and the female parent is the P. persica‘Jiang Tao’. The 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 (65A,RHS) was found and it flowered earlier than the female parent significantly and similar to the male parent. These characteristics of this cultivar are uniform and stable through multiple years’ propagation test. P. persica × davidiana‘Pin Hong’is suitable for the garden.
