Abstract
The present invention relates to a peach tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large sized, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in July, with first picking on Jul. 4th, 1997. The fruit is uniformly large in size, sweet and subacidic in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, white in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color. The variety was developed as a first generation cross using Diamond Ray (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8948) yellow flesh nectarine as the selected seed parent and an unnamed white flesh peach seedling as the selected pollen parent.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
We claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to the `White Princess ` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,515) white flesh peach by producing peaches that are white in flesh color, subacidic and sweet in flavor, firm in texture, and mostly red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing fruit that is clingstone instead of freestone, that is virtually free of red texture streaking, and that matures about 30 days earlier.
