Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica , broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the early to mid season and requires about 450 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in the latter part of June, with first picking on Jun. 20, 2014. The fruit is uniform, large in size, globose to oblate in shape, freestone in type, firm in texture, pinkish white in flesh color, full red in skin color, and a tasty balance of light acid and sugar in flavor.

Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.

I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Pearl Princess V’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,919) peach, by having a vigorous tree with large blossoms and reniform leaf glands, being self-fertile, and producing white flesh freestone peaches that are mostly red in skin color, globose to oblate in shape, firm in texture, and very good in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that matures about seven days later and is somewhat larger in size.
