1. Heavy and regular bearer of large size fruit.
2. Fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality.
3. Fruit with firm, white flesh, good handling and shipping quality.
4. Fruit with an attractive red skin color.
5. Fruit staying firm on the tree 6 to 7 days after maturity (shipping ripe).
6. Vigorous, upright growth of the tree.
Description
The present new variety of peach tree was developed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation cross between two selected seedlings with the field identification numbers 30EB280 and 1GC131. The maternal parent, field identification number 30EB280, originated from a first generation cross of two selected seedlings. One originated from a cross of Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621) with a nectarine of unknown parentage. The other originated from a cross of Fayette Peach (non-patented) with May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2794). The paternal parent, field identification number 1GC131, also originated from a cross between two selected seedlings. One seedling originated from a cross of Fayette Peach (non-patented) with a low chilling non-melting clingstone peach of unknown parentage. The other originated from an open pollinated May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2794) seedling.
Asexual reproduction of the present new variety by budding was performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all characteristics are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations and run true to the original tree in all respects.
The present new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth, a productive and regular bearer of large, white flesh, freestone fruit, substantially overspread with an attractive red skin color. The fruit is further characterized by being sub-acid, mild and sweet with excellent flavor and eating quality, having firm flesh with good handling and shipping quality, staying firm on the tree 6 to 7 days after maturity (shipping ripe) and maturing approximately 10 days after White Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No.5821).
The accompanying color photograph show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new peach variety, the upper and lower surface of the leaves being illustrated, an exterior and a cross sectional view of a fruit divided in the suture plane to reveal flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining In place, The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked at maturity (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color presentation of this type.
The botanical details of the new and distinct variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit are based on observations of specimens grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) referenced to Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and H. Wanscher.
