Abstract
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the early season and requires about 500 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in early June, with first picking on Jun. 1, 2007. The fruit is uniformly large in size, acidic and sweet in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm and melting in texture, yellow in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color.
Claims1
A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is similar to ‘Crimson Lady’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,953) peach by producing peaches that are firm, yellow in flesh color, mostly red in skin color, and ripen in early June, but is distinguished therefrom by requiring less chilling hours, by blooming in the early season, and by producing fruit that is larger in size, melting instead of non-melting in texture, and that has a more traditional peach flavor.
