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 mid season and requires about 625 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid June, with first picking on Jun. 16, 2007. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, sub-acidic and sweet in flavor, very oblate in shape, freestone in type, firm and melting in texture, yellow in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color.
