Abstract
The present invention relates to a peach tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the third week in July, with first picking on Jul. 20, 2003. The fruit is uniformly large in size, sub-acid and sweet in flavor, globose in shape, freestone in type, firm in texture, yellow with some red streaking in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color. The variety was developed as a first generation cross using ‘Spring Bright’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,507) yellow flesh nectarine as the selected seed parent and an unnamed peach as the selected pollen parent.
Claims1
A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Spring Candy’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,677) peach by sharing the same parentage and by producing peaches that are freestone in type, nearly full red in skin color, yellow with some red streaking in flesh color, firm in texture, and a sweet sub-acid in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom by producing peaches that are larger in size and that mature about three weeks later.
