The "Likes Gift" peach variety is a perennial fruit tree with a dense, widely oval crown and grey scaly trunk bark. It is a summer variety with an estimated ripening period in July to early August. The fruits are large, weighing from 150 to 200 grams, round in shape, covered with a dense, thin, and hairy skin of cream-pink-red color. The flesh is cream-white, juicy, and dense, with a sweet-and-sour taste. The stone separates easily from the flesh, and the peduncle is short and firmly attached to the fruit.
The tree begins to bear fruit 3-4 years after planting in a permanent location and is characterized by rapid ripening. The variety has excellent acclimatization, early fruiting, and high resistance to many diseases, ensuring a long productive period of up to 20 years. The "Likes Gift" peach is suitable for cultivation in a temperate climate, but is not recommended for regions with temperatures below -23 degrees Celsius. The tree is fast-growing, medium-sized, reaching a height of 3-5 meters, with a root system located close to the soil surface.
The fruits of this variety are rich in trace elements, fruit acids, and vitamins beneficial for skin and hair health. Blooming occurs before leaf unfolding; the flowers are pink or red and more frost-resistant than apricot flowers. The "Likes Gift" peach has increased drought and heat resistance, making it attractive to gardeners seeking a quality harvest of tasty and healthy fruits.
