Abstract
The present invention relates to a peach tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in the latter part of June, with first picking on Jun. 20, 2005. The fruit is very large in size, sub-acid and sweet in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, yellow with some red streaking in flesh color, and full dark red in skin color. The variety was developed as a first generation cross using ‘Coral Princess’ white flesh peach as the selected seed parent and an unnamed white flesh nectarine as the selected pollen parent.
