A new and distinct peach tree variety of chance seedling origin is provided. This new variety is a very late maturing yellow freestone peach variety which bears abundant, regular crops of large round meaty fruit having an attractive red and yellow skin coloration. The fruit flesh has a mild and delicious flavor and is of a rich yellow color which resists browning when exposed to air. The fruit buds exhibit superior winter hardiness. Also, the variety has exhibited tolerance to major peach diseases common to the southeastern portion of the United States.
