A new and distinct variety of peach tree which has the following combination of desirable features that are outstanding in a new variety: PA0 1. Fruit with large size, good flavor and eating quality. PA0 2. Heavy and regular production of fruit. PA0 3. Fruit with firm flesh, good handling and shipping quality. PA0 4. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color. PA0 5. Vigorous upright growth. PA0 6. Coloring of fruit 6 to 8 days before maturity.

ORIGIN OF THE VARIETY 
The new variety of peach tree was originated by us in our experimental 
orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation cross between 
two selected seedlings with field identification numbers 47EB362 and 
57RA292. The maternal parent, with field identification number 47EB362, 
originated from a cross between a selected seedling from open pollinated 
O'Henry Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964) seed and a selected seedling 
from the cross of Sam Houston Peach (non-patent) with May Grand Nectarine 
(U.S. Plant Pat. No. (2,794). The paternal parent, with field 
identification number 57RA292, originated from a cross between Amparo 
Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,472) and a seedling selection which 
originated from a cross between a peach of unknown parentage and June Lady 
Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,022). A large group of these first generation 
seedlings were grown and maintained by us and gave many and varying 
characteristics. One such seedling, which is the present variety, being 
especially desirable with respect to its fruit, was selected for asexual 
reproduction and commercialization. 
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF THE VARIETY 
The present new variety of peach tree was asexually reproduced by budding, 
as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, 
Calif., which shows that all characteristics of the tree and its fruit are 
established and transmitted through succeeding propagations and come true 
to the original tree in all respects. 
SUMMARY OF THE VARIETY 
The new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, has vigorous 
upright growth and is a productive and regular bearer of large, yellow 
flesh, semi-freestone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit 
is further characterized by having firm flesh, good handling and shipping 
quality, an attractive red skin color and in comparison to Amparo Peach 
(U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,472) which it closely resembles, the new variety is 
approximately 1 week later in maturity.
