Abstract

A new and distinct variety of peach tree is characterized by producing a freestone fruit with good red coloration, and that is ripe for commercial harvesting and shipment between July 13-20 in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The new variety is closely similar to the ‘O'Henry’ peach tree (nonpatented) from which it is a bud sport and from which it is distinguishable in that the fruit matures earlier than the ‘O'Henry’ peach fruit, is more highly colored, has very good flavor and stores very well.
