Abstract
The present invention relates to a peach tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium sized, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in June, with first picking on Jun. 1st, 1997. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, very good in flavor, attractively 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 `Crown Princess` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,070) yellow flesh peach as the selected seed parent and `June Pearl` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,360) white flesh nectarine 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, which produces fruit that exhibits the desirable characteristics common to its pollen parent, `June Pearl` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,360) white flesh nectarine, by producing clingstone fruit that is 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 larger in size, rounder in shape, peach instead of nectarine, and that ripens about seven days
