Peach tree named ‘Red Princess II’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica , broadly characterized by a medium to small size, weakly vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the early season and requires about 300 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid May, with first picking on May 15, 2015. The fruit is uniform, large in size, acidic with traditional peach flavor, oblate in shape, clingstone in type, firm and non-melting in texture, yellow in flesh color, virtually full red in skin color, and has a bitter tasting kernel.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Spring Princess’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,750) peach by being self-fertile, by having a low chilling requirement, by having a large blossom, by blooming in the early season and by producing peaches that are mostly red in skin color, yellow in flesh color, oblate in shape, clingstone in type, large in size, and very good in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom by having a smaller and less vigorous tree, by having reniform instead of globose glands, and by producing fruit that is non-melting instead of melting in texture, that has a bitter instead of sweet kernel, and that ripens about five days later.
