About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The ‚Dixired’ is an early-ripening variety that brings the first peaches as early as mid to late July, ideal if you don't want to wait until late summer. The fruit are medium-sized, yellow-fleshed and have a bright red blush; the flesh sticks a bit more strongly to the stone in this early variety. Self-fertile. It is not very resistant to brown rot.
You will find it fresh, sweet-tart with a crisper bite, a welcome preview as one of the first peaches of the year.
