Narrative

Type = Peach. Per Okie (see citation): "Flower nonshowy; medium cropping efficiency; tree chilling requirement 350 hours; petiole gland shape reniform; flesh yellow, fruit medium in size, although small in Florida; fruit round, ground color yellow, firmness medium, eating quality good; semi-clingstone; ripens 71 days before Elberta." Per Brooks and Olmo (see citation): "Cross [for this variety] made in 1958, selected in 1961 by John H. Weinberger, tested as F81-79. Fruit: size medium; round; skin yellow with red blush, attractive, resembling, but superior to Rochon; flesh yellow, moderately firm, quality good, semi-cling; ripens early June at Fresno a few days ahead of Early Amber and Cardinal, at Indio in late Apr. and early May a week or more ahead of Springtime; fruit reported to lack size at Gainesville, Florida, but otherwise acceptable. Tree: vigor moderate; productive; flower small, self-fertile; leaf glands reniform. Recommended for areas having warm winters such as the Coachella Valley of Calif.; should not be grown in colder peach growing areas because it would bloom early and be subject to frost injury."
