Peach tree

Abstract

There is disclosed a peach variety which originated as a seedling of Rio Oso Gem, with pollen from an unknown variety, resulting in production of a peach tree producing a late maturing yellow-fleshed, freestone peach that bears large to very large, round, globose, firm fruit having an attractive deep red skin overcolor, with flesh that is golden yellow in color, slow softening with a superior sweet and delicious flavor, the trees being moderately large, vigorous, and regularly productive.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of yellow freestone peach, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized as to novelty by a vigorous growth habit, regular bearing and the ability to yield large to very large, firm, round, globose, deep to bright red color, slow softening fruit, having a superior sweet flavor which commonly ripens three to four days after the Rio Oso Gem and Encore varieties.
