Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a medium to large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the late season and requires about 650 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in the last half of August, with first picking on Aug. 19, 2014. The fruit is uniform, large in size, globose to oblate in shape, freestone in type, firm in texture, pale yellow green in flesh color, nearly full red in skin color, and mildly sub-acidic in flavor with 17 brix typical.
