This fruit originally from Asia grows in countries with a temperate climate; the plant can withstand the winter cold well, although it is very sensitive to late spring frosts which, given how early it blooms, can cause extensive damage to the produce. The peach tree prefers cool, deep, medium-textured, open soil with low traces of limestone, where there is good irrigation and stagnant water does not form. The fruit is deep red over most of its surface with a yellow undertone; the flesh is yellow and sometimes has reddish veins. The flesh is compact with a good sugar content well-balanced with the level of acidity.
