Cultivation of the Saturn Peach - Platerine

Its cultivation is limited principally to warm areas, with Spain – for this very fact – being one of the notable producers of this fruit. The main crop areas are Murcia, Lérida and Aragón. The surface area planted in recent years has been increased enormously due to the fact that it is a product that has been very well received by the consumer, due to its convenience for consumption thanks to its flattened shape and its excellent sweet flavour.  Currently, Murcia is the most important producer in Spain of the Saturn Peach, specifically Vega Alta, and the municipalities of Cieza and Calasparra.
