`FA 52` peach tree

Abstract

A new peach variety, Prunus persica, (hereinafter referred to as the `FA 52` peach tree variety) 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 at the same time as the `Redhaven` peach. 3. A substantially round fruit with semi-freestone, yellow flesh and an attractive red stripe over a medium red blush covering 80% of the fruit at maturity. 4. A fruit with flesh that does not brown when cut. 5. A tree and fruit with resistance to Bacterial Spot. 6. A tree and blossom with hardiness superior to its parent.

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 medium size, very vigorous, spreading, very hardy, open, medium density, regular bearing tree, with resistance to bacterial spot, producing semi-freestone fruits having yellow, non-browning flesh and substantially round, firm, 80% striped red skin color at maturity which occurs concurrently with `Redhaven` peach.
