Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach tree ( ), named 'Southern Star', is described. The new variety is a selection derived from the open pollinated seed of 'Yumyeong' (not patented) and is distinguishable from the parent variety by ripening 1 week earlier than ‘Yumyeong’ and having sweeter, more aromatic fruit. Its novelty consists of a unique combination of features that include late flowering, heavy and regular cropping, large, very firm, white flesh, crisp-textured, clingstone fruit with a red overcolor. Fruit have a sweet, sub-acid flavor.
