F or many years Italy was the top producer of peaches in the world, and is today second only to China.
Italian production varies from 1.5-1.7 million metric tons annually, equal to about 40% of European
production. Peach is native to China where it is one of the most common fruit species grown, though it
has found a second important center of cultivation in the Mediterranean countries.
This species is the subject of the most active genetic improvement programs: every year about a hundred
new varieties are licensed.
This flourishing innovation has enriched the already numerous categories of peaches (white- and yellow-
fleshed peaches, white- and yellow-fleshed nectarines, canning peaches) with new types (sweet or
subacid flesh, balanced flesh, acidic flesh, peento peaches and nectarines, peaches and nectarines with
red flesh).
A recent development of importance for subtropical areas and countries is the introduction to the market
of low-chill (requiring 100-400 chilling hours) varieties of peaches and nectarines, which has expanded the
area of peach and nectarine growing to the southern shore of the Mediterranean where fruit can be ready
for market starting in mid-April.
There have also been numerous new rootstocks developed, which are gradually substituting GF677
where soil conditions do not suit it (presence of nematodes, root rot due to Armillaria, oxygen-poor soils,
control of tree vigour or encouraging earlier ripening for early-season varieties, etc.).
Training systems are also evolving, and the best are proving to be the modified vase types such as the
delayed open vase and the Catalan vase which decrease the costs of planting and canopy management.
