Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach tree (Prunus persica). The features of the tree and its fruit are characterized with the tree budded on nemaguard rootstock, grown on Hanford sandy loam soil with Storie Index rating 95, in USDA Hardiness Zone 9, near Modesto, Calif., and with standard commercial cultural fruit growing practices, such as, pruning, thinning, spraying, irrigation and fertilization. Its novelty consists of the following unique combination of features that are outstanding in a new variety:
1. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color.
2. Fruit with the ability to remain firm on the tree 10 to 12 days after maturity (shipping ripe).
3. Fruit having firm flesh with good shipping and handling quality.
4. Fruit with sweet, sub-acid flavor and good eating qualities.
5. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit.
6. Vigorous, upright growth.
Description
The present new variety of peach tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation cross between two selected seedlings with field identification numbers 39EB706 and 34GA1155. The maternal parent (39EB706) originated from a cross between two selected seedlings, 32EA300 and 11E284. The seedling selection 32EA300 originated from a cross between O'Henry Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,964) and Giant Babcock Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,353). The seedling selection 11E284 originated from seed of an open pollinated Red Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060). The pollen parent (34GA1155) originated from a seedling selection from an open pollinated May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794) crossed with a peach of unknown parentage. A large number of these first generation seedlings growing on their own root were planted and maintained under close observation, during which time one such seedling evidenced desirable tree and fruit characteristics and was selected for asexual propagation and commercialization.
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of peach tree was by budding to Nemaguard rootstock, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that reproductions run true to the original tree and all characteristics of tree and the fruit are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
The present new and distinct variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth; and a productive and regular bearer of large, firm, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit. The fruit is mild, sweet, sub-acid, with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized to its novelty by its attractive red skin color, its good handling and shipping quality; and, in comparison to Sweet Scarlet Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,695), the fruit of the new variety is approximately 18 days later in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new peach tree variety. The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a fruit divided in its suture plane to show flesh color, pit cavity and the stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked (shipping 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 variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observations of specimens 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.
Tree:
Size.--Large. Tree is maintained by pruning to 12 to 14 feet in height and 12 to 14 feet in width for economical harvesting.
Vigor.--Vigorous. Growing 6 to 7 feet in height the first growing season. Primary scaffolds are selected and the tree is pruned to a height of 4 to 5 feet the first dormant season, this will promote proper tree growth for secondary scaffolds to be selected during pruning in the second dormant season.
Growth.--Upright, usually pruned to vase shape.
Productivity.--Productive. Fruit set is 11/2 or more times the amount desirable for normal tree crop load.
Bearer.--Regular. Fruit must be thinned and spaced to reduce crop load to the number that will make desirable market size. The number of fruit desired per tree varies with the age of the tree, tree spacing, cultural practices, soil type and climatic conditions.
Density.--Medium dense. Shoot and leaf growth restrict sunlight and air movement in the center of the tree. Selective pruning to vase shape allows more sunlight and air movement to the center of the tree which will enhance fruit skin color and produce fruit with higher Brix and help keep fruit wood healthy.
Hardiness.--Winter chilling requirement is approximately 900 hours below 45° F. Hardiness tested only in USDA Hardiness Zone 9.
Trunk:
Size.--Medium to large.
Texture.--Medium rough.
Color.--Brown to tobacco brown (5-E-5) to (5-F-5).
Branches:
