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 size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the third week in June, with first picking on Jun. 18, 2001. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, very good in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, white in flesh color, and full red in skin color. The variety was developed as a self pollinated seedling of ‘Ivory Princess’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,205) white flesh peach.
