Abstract: The present invention relates to a peach-almond hybrid tree, Prunus sp., and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a very large, extremely vigorous, hardy, self-sterile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in early September, with the first picking on Sep. 4, 2004. The tree is commercially useful as a rootstock for almost all prunus species. The variety was developed as a first generation cross using ‘Titan’ (unpatented) almond as the selected seed parent and ‘Nemaguard’ (unpatented) peach as the selected pollen parent.

The variety was developed as a first generation cross using ‘Red Glen’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,193) yellow flesh nectarine as the selected seed parent and an unnamed flat peach as the selected pollen parent.
