ANNEX ISupplementary provisions
ANNEX I The specification for the protected designation of origin ‧Pesca di Leonforte‧ is amended as follows: Description of product: Only the minimum soluble solids content had to be indicated so as to avoid excluding peaches with a content of more than 13 degrees Brix. This is an improvement which allows the designation ‧Pesca di Leonforte‧ to be used for fruit with a higher sugar content than that previously set. Method of production: One amendment concerns the permitted rootstocks: wild and clone peach rootstocks and prunus hybrids which have proved to be compatible with the ecotypes and are adapted to the local weather conditions are now permitted. These rootstocks have to be tested within the area defined in the specification. In the same article the planting distance has been amended for the simple or late vase (cup) pruning methods, given that this is more convenient for the growers and is already carried out in some orchards in the production area. As a result of the above amendment maximum production per hectare has been increased to 25 tonnes without changing the planting density.
