Peach tree "Vista"

Abstract

Our new development is a new and distinct variety of peach tree whose novelty consists of the following unique combination of desirable features: 1. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit. 2. Fruit with firm flesh, good storage and shipping ability. 3. The ability of the fruit to hold firm on the tree 6-7 days after maturity (shipping ripe). 4.Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color. 5. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality. 6. Vigorous and upright growth. 7. Relatively uniform ripening of the fruit throughout the tree.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size, vigorous, upright growth, which is a productive and regular bearer of large, yellow flesh, semi clingstone fruit with good flavor and eating quality; the fruit is further characterized by having firm flesh with good storage and shipping quality, holding on the tree 6 to 7 days after maturity (shipping ripe), having an attractive red skin color and in comparison to its seed parent Rich Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,290) the new variety is approximately 6 to 7 days later in maturity.
