Abstract
A new and distinct peach variety which originated as a mutation of the variety "Jerseyqueen." This new variety is a very late maturing yellow freestone peach which bears large to very large globose to slightly ovate fruit having an attractive bright orange red skin color (as illustrated). The fruit flesh is golden yellow in color, very firm, and slow softening with a very good flavor. The fruit buds are moderately hardy similar to Jerseyqueen with moderate tolerance to Xanthamonas pruni bacterial spot.
