The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in the early part of June, with first picking on Jun. 7, 2006.

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 most similar to ‘SPRING CANDY’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,677) peach by producing peaches that are firm in texture, yellow in flesh color, sub-acid in flavor, and mostly red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom by blooming later, by requiring more chilling hours, and by producing fruit that is clingstone instead of freestone in type, that is sweeter in taste, and that matures about twelve days earlier.
