Prunus persica 'Minpechfor' (GOLDEN CAESAR) is a new peach variety that stands out for its exceptional disease resistance and broad adaptability. This selection was tested by a renowned research institute and showed high tolerance to peach leaf curl. In addition, GOLDEN CAESAR is highly resistant to chlorosis, making it well suited to calcareous soils. Once established, the tree is also very drought-tolerant, making it ideal for a wide range of climates and soil types.
The juicy and sweet fruits ripen in September and are easy to harvest. GOLDEN CAESAR can be propagated both by grafting and from cuttings. Thanks to its strong characteristics, this peach is a promising choice for both professional growers and hobby gardeners looking for a robust and productive tree.
Prunus persica GOLDEN CAESAR was selected from seedlings by Isabelle and Jean-Yves Forest of Pépinières Forest SARL in Louresse-Rochemenier, France. The variety is protected by plant breeder’s rights. It has been available on the market since January 2025. Formidable Plant Breeders from Beaufort-en-Anjou submitted the plant for novelty evaluation.
