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 mid to late blooming season and requires about 600 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in early August with the first picking on Aug. 2, 2013. The fruit is uniform, large in size, globose in shape, freestone in type, very firm in texture, white in flesh color, almost 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.

We claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Snow Princess’ peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,570) by having a vigorous tree with large blossoms, by being self-fertile, and by producing white flesh freestone peaches that are large in size, mostly red in skin color, globose in shape, and firm in texture, but is distinguished therefrom by having globose instead of reniform leaf glands, by having a sweet instead of bitter tasting kernel, by blooming about 10 days later, and by producing fruit that has a balanced flavor between acid and sugar rather than subacidic, that can hang on the tree longer during the harvest season, and that matures about 10 days later.
