PEACH TREE Filed June 27, 1975 United States Patent Plant at. 3,934.
. Patented July 6, 1976 3,934 PEACH TREE Charles Preuss, 86% N. Minnewawa Ave., Clovis, Calif. 93612 Filed June 27, 1975, Ser. No. 590,825
lint. CL? AOlH /03 US. Cl. Plt.-43 1 Claim ORIGIN The peach tree of the present invention occurred as a limb sport in an orchard of Preuss Suncrest peach trees (U.S.. Plant Pat. No. 2,797) at 8690 N. Minnewawa, near the city of Clovis, county of Fresno and State of California owned by the applicant.
DISCOVERY The new variety was discovered in the Preuss Suncrest orchard by the applicant when it attracted his attention as bearing fruit which were more nearly spherical, a somewhat lighter and brighter red and ripened approximately six days earlier than the Preuss Suncrest.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION After observing the new variety, the applicant budded selected buds from it into host trees in his orchard identified above. The buds grew successfully and were carefully observed. They were found to maintain the characteristics of the originally discovered sport in all observable respects including the distinctions over the Preuss Suncrest noted above.
SUMMARY The present variety of peach tree generally possesses the attributes of the Preuss Suncrest peach trees as to vigor of growth, large size, regular and heavy bearing and in the production of large, free-stone, red and yellowskinned, firmly textured, yellow-fleshed peaches but is distinguished from the Preuss Suncrest in the red coloration of the fruit being somewhat lighter and brighter but less extensively dominant over the yellow, firmer, more nearly spherical and ripening six days earlier. The latter distingushing characteristic is particularly significant to the commercialization of the new variety, it being well known in the fresh fruit industry that a difference in ripening time of only a few days can make the difference between an economically successful year or an actual loss. Usually the earlier ripening of fruit of given characteristics is a distinct pricing advantage.
The new variety blooms in the latter part of March at about the same time as the Pay Elberta (unpatented) "and the Preuss Suncrest. The blossoms are self pollinating, of large size and pale to moderate pink (2.5R 9/ 35R 8/5) with some darkening to strong pink (2.5R 7/ 8 The fruit usually ripens during the third quarter of July about six days earlier than the Preuss Suncrest and the Merrill 49er (unpatented).
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The accompanying drawing is a color photograph of:
1. two peaches of the present variety, one being viewed from the stem and the other from the side in the sature plane; 7
2. two peach halves severed on the suture plane to show flesh coloration; and
3. a number of characteristic stones viewed from various positions to illustrate their characteristics.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY Referring in greater detail to the promological characteristics of the present variety of peach tree, its characteristics are set forth as observed under the ecological conditions prevailing at the applicants orchard designated above. The major color plate identifications are by reference to the Nickerson Color Fan of the American Horticultural Council.

It is to be understood that the peach tree and its fruit described above may vary in response to variations in climate, soil, and cultural conditions. However, when grown with proper farming techniques under the ecological conditions prevailing in the eastern part of the county of Fresno of the State of California, its characteristics are as described above.
What is claimed is:
l. A new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described which is generally similar to the Preuss Suncrest (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,797) in vigorous growth, and in regular heavy bearing of yellowfleshed freestone fruit which are somewhat more spherical, have skin which has more yellow and somewhat less red, but of a brighter and lighter shade, than the Preuss Suncrest and which ripens approximately six days earlier than the Preuss Suncrest and the Merrill 49er (unpatented) and about sixteen days earlier than the Pay Elberta (unpatented).
