Peach tree named ‘June Time’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the mid to late season and requires about 600 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid June, with first picking on Jun. 16, 2010. The fruit is uniformly large in size, acidic in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm and non-melting in texture, yellow with red bleeding in flesh color, and mostly dark red in skin color.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Crown Princess’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,070) peach by producing peaches that are yellow in flesh color, non-melting in texture, and globose in shape, but is distinguished therefrom by requiring less chilling hours, by being more productive, by having reniform instead of globose leaf glands, and by producing fruit that is larger in size, darker red in skin color, that has a sweet instead of bitter kernel, that has a more traditional peach flavor, and that matures about five days later.
