This is the sweetiest and tastiest crossbreed flat peach ever seen in the past.Its arrival in the market causes a competition with the ancient round peaches.
This summer 2018 ,the flat peach finds in place on super market stalls facing round peaches,nectarines and brugnons.This strong production competition between flat and round peache varieties coupled with a more laborious flow of flat peaches explain the crisis of the peach fruit market in the world.
Flat peach breeding was performed in many countries.Recherchers and developers,
professional and private breeders produced well numerous flat peach varieties because they seem suitable to the consumption of people who claim the sweeter peach.
There's really no loser in this new peach competition unless of course,they are found to be superior than other species
THE PEACH HISTORY
Evolution from the wild peaches to the superior modern peaches.
Ancient peach pits recently unearthed in China indicate that peaches were cultivated in China at least
7000 years. Evidence found during recent archeological excavations in the lower Yangtze River
Valley in southern China suggests that peaches were domesticated in that area thousands of years ago and probably originated there than in northwestern China as previous thought. Domestication means that people were consciously selecting for preferred fruit traits by clonal reproduction rather than just
planting the seeds of their favorit fruits.
Wild peaches tended to have a thin tough flesh.Cultivated peaches are larger and have a greater volume of flesh in proportion to the stone.Modern varieties also have a wider range of maturity times than wild peaches allowing for a supply of fruits over a long period.Wild species tend to be mid or late maturing.
Peach seeds have a great genetic variability. If people grew peach trees from seeds,there would be no grarantees for the new trees to produce similar fruits to the parent trees,
but trees producing large fruits could easily have been selected and propagated using roostock and grafting

THE MODERN BREED FLAT PEACH
That is the almost ancient chinese pan tao peach which also called peento peach,then chinese flat peach, and after being bred ,this fruit became new flat peach... Marketing has taken over the pan tao peach and you are most likely to find it displayed under the name saturn, donut peach.
The pan tao peach is the heavy producer. One tree will produce nearly twice as many peaches as other fruiting peach trees.The pan tao is frost hardy,self fruitful and blooms earlier and
heavier in spring than most other varieties. Harvest will begin in late spring and extend to the end of summer.
Ancient chinese orchard keepers divided flat peaches into golden or yellow fleshed peaches and silver or white fleshed peaches.The white flat peach is much sweeter than yellow peaches and lower in acidity .
Study indicates that flat and round fruit shape in peach is primarily determined by the
regulation of cell production in the vertical direction during early fruit development.Flat peach cultivars possessed significantly lower number of cells in the vertical axis because cell division
in the vertical division stopped early in the flat fruit cultivars than in the round fruit cultivars.This
resulted in the reduction in vertical development in flat fruit.
The pantao flat peach trees were introduced to the United States from China to New Jersey
in 1871.Their fruits gained popularity in the 1990s (Wikipedia). Other information said that the pantao was introduced to the USA in 1866 but has only recently gained worldwide acceptance after having been bred to grow in United States and Europe
Further more, the flat peach has been bred into variety to grow in low chilling zone and variety to grow in high chilling zone in order to facilitate the flat peach growing in tropical zone and in cold hardiness zone :The flat peach would be the fruit without climated frontier.
It is interesting to produce here some articles relating to the history of flat peaches found on the Internet for your reading.

These documents tell us about the period in which the trial of flat peaches in New Jersey was carried out in 1886;At the beginning It seemed that the results were discouraging,given the
following sentences : " ... These produced many distinct seedlings;some were of exceeding dwarf growth and died when two years old. Others produced semi double flowers and were of tall growth,but falling to produce fruit for a number of years,were finally uprouted..."
It is clear how traditional peaches were losing their appeal to consumers,
however saturn bred peaches with various aromas and tastes,are subacid and generally white. They continue to do well. No crossbreed has been succesful so far as the time frame is very long.When new bred varieties arrived,they need to be observed for at least 4 - 5 years to make sur they adapt to the soil and weather conditions.
The original chinese flat peach was not cold hardy enough to grow in New Jersey,not even in counties well known for peach culture. So the breeders at Rutgers through a long process of trial and error,selected out a strain of peento with frost resistant buds. This is critical because the tree blooms early.The bred flat peach resistant to late frost is what distinguishes the saturn peach from its parents pantao and why it was given a new name.
Bred saturn peaches was licensed to propagate the trees and sell them commercially ..Now that the license has expired,many other growers are offering it and that's why we are beginning to see this peach in worldwide countries. Saturn peach has lots of different names in different countries. Some called it Donut peach , Paraguayo peach, Pantao peach, Belly up peach, Saucer peach, UFO peach,Hat peach etc...Consumers enjoint flat saturn peach,but it is werd and show how little people know about the processes involved with breeding new fruit varieties.
Today every plant we eat is a product of selective breeding and often more active manipulation of genes as well. In fact Mendel the father of modern genetics,revealed to us all the existence of genes by modifying them. Mendel crossbred pea plants to show how their traits were passed along to the next generation. So in the 1850 we had,in essence genetically modified peas.
Tomatoes,romaine lettuce,pineapple,corn,rice,watermelon and almost all other modern products have their origins in nature,of course,but as eaten today are decidly products of careful selective breeding.This can involve selecting the plants with favoured traits,but may involve hybridization as well-the fusion of one plant with another in order to get offspring with the desired traits of both. We owe many of our fruits and vegetables along with our beautiful flowers(e.g hybrid roses,ornamental flowering peaches). Seedless grapes,watermelons,are poducts of wilfull genetic modifications.Nectarines are the result of careful culling of a recessive gene in peaches that eleminates their eponymous fuzzy skin.
GROWING FLAT FRUITED PEACH CULTIVARS, A WORLDWIDE PERSPECTIVE
The last decade has been characterizided by a decrease in peach fruit consumption in
many countries,formost due to the unsatisfactory quality of peaches.
The sugar content is one of the most important quality traits perceived by consumers,and the development of novel peach prunus persica cultivars with sugar enhanced content is the primary
objective of breeding programs to revert the market inertia.
Understanding the physiology and genetics of sugar accumulation in peach is essential
to breeding sweeter more popular fruit .Prunus persica is one of the most difficult crops to improve
by breeding,thanks to limited genetic variability and a lack of informations on the genetic basic of complex traits.Further more,declining sales of peaches are thought to result from fruit shape poor flavor,a trait combining taste,aroma and mouth feel.
In peach,the flat fruit cultivars have become more and more popular worldwide,because fruit shape is an important external chracteristic that consumers use to select perferred fruit cultivars.
THE NEW GENERATION OF FLAT PEACH CONSUMERS
Younger consumers seem to like sweet and low acid peaches because many of the attractive white fllesh flat peach varieties developed for markets have low acidty and have become readily available from growers.. Peaches have a relatively short storrage season ,so they are sold in
season ,one variety following another ,but peaches are rarely sold by name. The new bred flat peaches marketed as Saturn, Donut ect... the trademarketed names are very novel.

FLAT PEACH PEENTO BECAME SATURN-DONUT FLAT PEACH
Saturn-Donut flat peach are the branches of breeding program started by chinese emperor
several hundred years ago .Flat peaches from China arrived via the Rutger tree station in New Jersey. Stark Bro's Nursery held the exclusive patent.When patent rights lapsed around1986, the proliferation
of flat peach in the US and Europe began. Flat Saturn-Donut peach are quickly becoming the latest trend in hybrid fruit breeds
Flat peaches aren't genetically modified oddities. They are descendants of wild
pantas (peentu peaches)fromChina which where introduced to the US nearly 150 years ago.It wasn't
until the 60 and 7O's however,that scientists at Rutgers New Jersey Agicultural Experiment Station hybridized the plants,to produce hardier frost resistant trees with bigger,sweeter,low in acid,high in
sugar.They brought the varieties to Stark Bros's Nurseriesand Orchard Co Missouri which purchased
the license to grow and sell the trees.
Though the trees were originally intended for home gardeners,flat peaches growing in Whasington were eventually brought to the attention of Frieda's Specialty Produce,the company
