Peach tree

Abstract

As a mutation of Pacific Gold, a new peach tree variety is disclosed which is characterized by its dwarf nature and a predominance of vigorous, robust spurs, very short laterals with short internodes and prominent axillary buds.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree characterized as to novelty primarily by the dwarf nature of its growth which is approximately one-quarter that of its parent Pacific Gold, foliage which is darker green, longer and denser with approximately 25 percent more chlorophyll than that of its parent Pacific Gold and with fruit similar to that of Pacific Gold and that ripens at substantially the same time as that of Pacific Gold.
