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 season and requires about 350 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in early May, with first picking on May 6, 2021. The fruit is uniform, medium in size, oblate in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, almost entirely red in skin color, white in flesh color, and sub-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 named ‘Pearl Princess VII’, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Ivory Duchess’ peach tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,282), by having a medium size tree, by blooming in the early season, by having large blossoms, by being self-fertile, and by producing white flesh peaches that are clingstone in type, mostly red in skin color, firm in texture, and sub-acidic in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom by producing peaches that are oblate instead of globose in shape, that are somewhat smaller in size, that are sweeter, and that mature about thirty days earlier.
