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 mid season and requires about 500 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in early June, with first picking on Jun. 19, 2007. The fruit is uniformly large in size, a tasty balance of acid and sugar in flavor, globose in shape, freestone in type, firm and melting in texture, white in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color.

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

1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is similar to ‘Ice Princess’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,974) peach by producing peaches that are firm in texture, freestone in type, white in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is larger in size, that matures about several days earlier, and that is a tasty balance of acid and sugar rather than sub-acidic in flavor.
