Abstract

A new and distinct variety of peach Prunus persica tree which has the following unique combination of features that are desirable in a new variety: 1. Heavy and regular bearer of large size fruit. 2. Producing mild, sub-acid fruit with very good flavor and eating quality. 3. Fruit with firm white flesh, good handling and shipping quality. 4. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color. 5. Relatively uniform ripening of the fruit. 6. Vigorous, upright growth of the tree.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large size, vigorous and upright growth, and a productive and regular bearer of large, white flesh, clingstone fruit with very good flavor and eating quality; the fruit is further characterized by having firm flesh with good handling and shipping quality, having a high degree of attractive red skin color, and in comparison to the early maturing, Top Crest Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,745) the new variety has white flesh instead of yellow flesh with heavier production of larger size fruit.
