A new and distinct variety of peach, Prunus persica, tree having the
following unique combination of desirable features:
1. Producing a bud that is particularly winter and spring cold hardy.
2. The limbs of the tree naturally grow at wide angles creating a
wide-spreading tree.
3. A fruit with a smooth raised suture that remains firm as does the whole
fruit.
4. A late maturing, highly colored, peach cultivar that matures a few days
before the old standard variety, "Cresthaven" (unpatented), and which
hangs on the tree for many days, staying extremely firm.
