Abstract

The article presents the results of a nine-year study of 19 ornamental peach cultivars of Chinese and Japanese origin, introduced to the southern coast of Crimea. Cultivars with high ornamentality, degree and duration of flowering were identified. They are accession into early-medium, medium, mid-late, late and very late flowering groups. Their susceptibility to fungal diseases was determined.

Summary

Introduction

For the Ornamental Peach Festival, which has been held since 1989, 61 cultivars were harvested here from all over the world and 5000 peach trees were planted [2]. Such a collection is of great interest to introductors and breeders. As part of the agreement on the scientific exchange of varieties, we introduced some cultivars of ornamental peach from the Beijing Botanical Garden. We presented the morphological characteristics of these varieties, as well as data on the dates of flowering and susceptibility to diseases, obtained over 5 years of observations in the Nikita Botanical Gardens [4]. The purpose of this study was to summarize the results of a long-term study of the main biological characteristics of new cultivars, to assess the degree of their adaptation to growing conditions on the southern coast of Crimea
