`FA 47` peach tree

Abstract

A new peach variety, Prunus persica, (hereinafter referred to as the `FA 47` peach tree) which was developed by Annette and Randy Bjorge in a breeding program at Fruit Acres Farm in Coloma, Mich., having the following combination of unique and desirable features: 1. A fruit with excellent shipping and storage qualities. 2. A fruit maturing 7 days before the `Redhaven` peach. 3. A substantially round fruit with clear yellow flesh and an attractive orange-red stripe coloration covering 75% of the fruit at maturity. 4. A fruit with flesh that does not brown when it is cut. 5. A tree and fruit with good resistance to Bacterial Spot. 6. A tree and blossom that is very hardy.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of vigorous, weeping, open, medium density, regular bearing tree, with resistance to bacterial spot, producing semi-freestone fruits having yellow, non-browning flesh and substantially round, firm, 95% striped orange-red skin color at maturity which occurs 7 days before `Redhaven` peach.
