  • Patent number: PP9515
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the second week in August, with first picking on Aug. 10th, 1994. The fruit is uniformly large in size, excellent in flavor, attractively globose in shape, freestone in type, very firm and white flesh in texture and mostly red in skin color. The variety was developed as a first generation cross using the unnamed yellow flesh genetically dwarf peach seedling as the selected seed parent and `August Snow` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,947) white flesh nectarine as the selected pollen parent.
