Flat peach is a peach variety originated from China.
In the past there were more than 20 flat peach varieties.
Beijing Institute of Pomology and Forestry is the main professional institution of peach breeding in northern China, which began its peach breeding program in the 1960’s.
Presently, many new flat peach varieties such as “Ruipan No. 1″,”Ruipan No. 2″,”Ruipan No. 3″,”Ruipan No. 4″,”Ruipan No. 5” and “Ruipan No. 8” have been released or bred.
These new varieties are more improved than the original ancient ones especially in productivity, fruit firmness, and skin color, etc.
