Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach tree, which has a low winter chilling requirement of approximately 250 chill units (cu). The tree is large size, highly vigorous with a semi-upright growth habit, and has showy pink flowers. Glands are small and reniform in shape and isolated to the basal portions of leaves. This tree, which has been denominated 'UFO', is a regular bearer of heavy crops which are large for the moderately early ripening season, with yellow and very firm non-melting fresh, semi-freestone fruit of peento shape. Fruit are uniform, attractive, substantially symmetrical shape, and have an attractive 50 to 70% striped red skin color. The fruit ripens 10 to 15 days after 'UFGold' in mid- to late May at Gainesville.
