  A white-fleshed, semi-freestone, donut-shaped peach. The flesh is soft, sweet, and mild-flavored. Does not hang on the tree well without over-ripening and must be picked early. An early-season variety. The fruits adhere tightly to the trees and can be difficult to thin or pick. Good resistance to bacterial leaf spot. Considered quite cold hardy. Grown commercially in southwestern Idaho
