Definitions

  • This invention pertains to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears yellow-fleshed freestone fruit; the prime features of distinction being that the fruit resembles the Rio Oso Gem (U. S. Plant Patent No. 84), but ripens slightly later than the Kirkman Gem (U. S. Plant Patent No. 506).
  • the parent tree of the herein claimed variety is a seedling of the Kirkman Gem; seeds of the latter variety having been planted by me in February 1946 in my experimental plot on my farm near Red Bluff, California.
  • the parent tree first fruited and was observed in September 1948; it having been recognized at that time that the variety was favorably distinguished from both the Rio and Oso Gem and the Kirkman Gem in the respects which will be hereinafter noted.
  • the fruit of the present variety generally resembles that of the Rio Oso Gem, but is an improvement, or is otherwise advantageous marketwise, by reason of a ripening period which is approximately five weeks later; is sweeter; smoother skinned; more symmetrical in form; and with less ridge down the suture line.
  • the fruit of the instant variety ripens a few days later; is much sweeter; is firmer; and does not have the soft suture stripe which characterizes said Kirkman Gem.
  • the fruit of the claimed variety does not darken on exposure of the flesh to air.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a fruit of the variety in connection with a stem and leaves.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken axially of one of the fruit, with the stone exposed.
  • Tree Medium size; medium vigorous; medium upright; vase formed; productive; regular bearer.
  • GZands -Average none to seven, mostly five; none to three on petiole; two to six on leaf. Alternate; large; reniform. Brown to green on new growth.
  • Suture-Shallow extends from beyond apex distance to base.
  • Skin Thin; medium tender; tenacious to flesh;
  • Stone Free. Parts from flesh smoothly, retaining a small amount of flesh along ridges near base.
  • the tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
