Abstract
A new and distinct peach variety possessing a relatively low chilling requirement is provided. The fruit of the new variety is early maturing and unlike most low chilling varieties has a higher level of red skin coloration, and excellent commercial qualities such as firmness and the ability to withstand handling and shipping. The new variety originated as an open pollinated seedling with the Ruby Gold nectarine variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,101) serving as the seed parent. Various peach varieties having low chilling requirements were growing the area and likely served as the pollen source. The new variety of the present invention is particularly suited for growing in the United States in zone 9 and the upper part of zone 10.
