Abstract
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica , broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the early to mid blooming season and requires about 500 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions, described in early to mid July with the first picking on Jul. 3, 2016. The fruit is uniform, medium in size, fairly globose in shape, freestone in type, firm in texture, yellow in flesh color, mostly red in skin color, and moderately acidic in flavor.
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 ‘Red Princess’ peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,729) by having large blossoms, by being self-fertile, and by producing peaches that are mostly red in skin color, yellow in flesh color, fairly globose in shape, acidic in flavor, and firm in texture, but is distinguished therefrom by requiring less chilling hours, and by producing fruit that is freestone instead of clingstone in type, that is somewhat smaller in size, that has a bitter instead of sweet kernel, and that ripens about eighteen days later.
