Ougon peaches are generally medium to large in size, averaging 225 to 300 grams in weight, and have a round, oval, to ovate shape.Each peach, depending on the variety, exhibits a prominent suture line extending the length of the fruit, and some varieties have flat shoulders, tapering to a point on the non-stem end.
The fruit’s skin is thin, smooth, and taut, showcasing a bright yellow to golden yellow-orange hue, and a fine layer of downy fuzz envelops the surface. Ougon peaches contain a high sugar content, ranging from 14 to 16 Brix, and have moderate acidity, creating a balanced, sweet, and tangy flavor with fruity, apricot, and mango nuances. Ougon peaches have a sweet flavor and juicy, soft flesh suited for fresh preparations.
Ougon peaches also have faint lenticels speckled on the skin, and their outward appearance is distinguished from other yellow peach varieties by the absence of red blush, a trait common in many yellow cultivars. Underneath the surface, the golden yellow flesh is semi-firm with an aqueous, tender, dense, and lightly chewy texture. The flesh also encases a central, light brown pit that is inedible and should be discarded.
When ripe, Ougon peaches develop a melting, succulent, and smooth consistency. Ougon peaches are aromatic and emit a honeyed, fruity scent with notes of mango. The peaches should feel heavy for their size when ripe and be relatively blemish free.
