`FA 80` peach tree

Abstract

A new peach, (Prunus persica) 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 17 days later than the `Redhaven` peach. 3. A substantially round fruit with clear yellow flesh and an attractive solid red blush on the most exposed surfaces which suffuses to a relatively indistinct red-on-red stripe on the less exposed surfaces covering 90 to 100% 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 with good hardiness.

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, compact size, vigorous, upright, open, medium density, regular bearing tree, with good resistance to bacterial spot, producing freestone fruits having clear yellow, non-browning flesh and substantially round, firm, 90% blushed red skin color at maturity which occurs 17 days after the maturity of `Redhaven` peach.
