Peach tree named ‘China Pearl’

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of edible peach tree which has the following unique combination of desirable features that are outstanding in a new variety. 1. High flower bud chilling (cold) requirement resulting in later flowering relative to other commercial varieties of peach. 2. Flower buds which demonstrate a high level of resistance to cold temperature injury. 3. Firm, white flesh fruit with low levels of organic acids, resulting in fruit with a mild, sweet taste. 4. Heavy and regular bearing of large size fruit, up to 3½ inches in axial diameter. 5. Fruit with late maturity.

We claim:  
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of edible peach tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its very large, low acid fruit, its late flowering, its high resistance of flowers to cold temperatures, and its moderate resistance to bacterial spot disease.
