Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach, Prunus persica, tree with the following unique combination of desirable features:
1. Heavy and regular production of large, white flesh, clingstone fruit.
2. Fruit with a mild, sweet, subacid flavor with excellent eating quality.
3. Fruit with firm white flesh, good handling and shipping qualities.
4. An attractive fruit with a white ground color nearly overspread with a red blush.
5. Large tree size with vigorous, upright growth.
6. Relatively uniform ripening of fruit throughout the tree.
Description
The present new variety of peach tree was developed in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, California, as a first generation cross between a selected seedling (field identification number 20GA1054) and White Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,821). The maternal parent (20GA1054) originated from a cross of Rhone Gold Nectarine (non-patented) with Redwing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621). We planted and grew a large number of these first generation seedlings under close observation and the present variety exhibited the distinct and desirable fruit characteristics described above and was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The present variety of peach tree was asexually propagated by budding, as performed in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all characteristics of the tree and its fruit run true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
A new and distinct variety of peach tree which is of large size, vigorous, upright growth, and a regular and productive bearer of large, white flesh, clingstone fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having firm flesh with good handling and shipping quality, being relatively uniform in ripening throughout the tree, having a high degree of attractive red skin blush and, in comparison to the White Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,821), the new variety is approximately 18 days earlier in maturity.
The accompanying photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the new variety. The upper and lower surface of the leaves are shown, along with an exterior and sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane showing flesh coloration, pit cavity and stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked at maturity (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new and distinct variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observations of the variety grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
