  • Patent number: PP7953
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in June, with first picking on June 3, 1990. The fruit is uniformly large in size, excellent in flavor, attractively globose in shape, clingstone in type, very firm and nonmelting in texture, and almost full red in skin color. The variety was developed by crossing two unnamed peach seedlings, the seed parent having Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) nectarine as its seed parent and Springcrest (unpatented) peach as its pollen parent.
