Description
‘Burpeachnineteen’ was patented in 2004 by The Burchell Nursery, Inc., Oakdale, CA. It is a new and distinct variety of peach tree, which is considered of large size, and which has vigorous growth. This new peach tree is also a regular and productive bearer of relatively large, firm, yellow fleshed, clingstone fruit, which have good flavor and eating qualities. This new tree has a medium chilling requirement of approximately 600 hours, and further produces relatively uniformly sized fruit throughout the tree. The fruit produced by this new variety has a non-melting flesh which makes it ideal for storage. In addition to the foregoing, the fruit of this new tree also appears to have good handling and shipping qualities. The ‘Burpeachnineteen’ peach tree bears fruit which are ripe for commercial harvesting and shipment on approximately May 8th to May 16th. In relative comparison to the seed parent, the present new variety of peach tree bears fruit which ripen about 10 days earlier at the same geographical location.
