A new and distinct variety of peach tree (Prunus persica); the features of the tree and its fruit are characterized by the tree budded on Nemaguard (non-patented) rootstock, which is the primary rootstock used for peaches in California. The new peach tree was grown on Handford sandy loam soil with Storie Index rating 95, in the USDA hardiness Zone 9, near Modesto, Calif., with standard commerical fruit growing practices, such as pruning, thinning, spraying, irrigation and fertilization. Its novelty consists of the following combination of features that are desirable in a new variety:1. Fruit having firm flesh with good storage and shipping quality.2. Early maturity of medium to large size fruit with good flavor and eating quality.3. Fruit having a high degree of attractive red skin color.4. Regular and heavy production of fruit.5. The tree having the ability to produce commercially quality fruit in areas with only 250 to 300 winter chilling hours.
