Peach tree

Abstract

A Peach Tree developed from a seedling growing in planting of "Rio-Oso-Gem" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 84) reproduced asexually, having characteristics of the female parent, the male parent not being known, the tree having large and vigorous, tall, vase formed, with leaves larger than "Rio-Oso-Gem", heavy setting requiring heavy thinning to properly size the fruit, the symmetrical almost globular fruit of reddish overall appearance with some mottling and yellow ground color, varying between 35-12 and 35-13, with areas of 35-5, with the flesh having yellowish portions 27-4, areas of 35-5 depending upon the angle of light availed of for observation.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of peach tree of the yellow-fleshed, freestone, fruit-bearing type, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of large tree size, tall, vase formed and rapid growing, tendency to set fruit heavy requiring heavy thinning to properly size fruit, the fruit being very uniform in size, and more nearly globular than "Rio Oso Gem", more symmetrical with thick skin, smooth and tough, the overall color presenting a reddish general appearance from 35-12 to 35-13 and shading to 35-5 with some mottling over a yellow ground color, the early tendency to color, though picking must be delayed until the suture smooths, the pronounced aroma of the fruit and the good keeping quality for local, dessert and culinary use, having in addition good resistance to bacterial spot and definitely non-browning.
