Peach tree named ‘RED PRINCESS IV’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica , broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the very early blooming season and requires about 250 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in late May with the first picking on May 27, 2021. The fruit is uniform, large in size, oblate in shape, clingstone in type, non-melting and firm in texture, yellow with red bleeding in flesh color, dark red skin color, and traditional peach in flavor.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Red Princess II’ peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,338) by blooming in the early season, by having large blossoms, by being self-fertile, by having reniform leaf glands, and by producing peaches that are clingstone in type, mostly red in skin color, oblate in shape, traditional peach in flavor, and non-melting in texture, but is distinguished therefrom by having a larger and more vigorous tree, by requiring less chilling hours, and by producing fruit that has more red bleeding in the flesh color, that is larger in size, that has a sweet instead of bitter kernel, and that matures about five days later.
