Description
In the country of origin, Republic of Korea, the tree of this disclosure is believed to have been derived from the Korean commercial variety ‘Daigubo’, which came from Japan in the 1930's and is within the subspecies ‘dianthiflora’ (Dipp.); and originated in Seomyun, Yunkikun, Chungnam, Republic of Korea. The appropriate botanical classification for this tree is believed to be Prunus persica. This subject tree is believed to be exceptional in a number of characteristics and offers a further option to commercial growers of stone fruits in terms of fruit having large to very large size, firm flesh, freestone, sweet, attractively colored fruit which has a comparatively high capacity to withstand handling, shipping and storage. The tree has the additional desirable fruit characteristics of heavy production of fruit with an attractive round shape and pleasant, sweet taste, and which is harvested later than normal harvest for fruit of extra large size, this tree promises to be a valuable new variety to industry and commerce which has value as a dessert variety but which may also be used as a canner. This tree further has the advantage of being mid to late-season in blooming so that it is less susceptible to late frosts than other locally adapted tree varieties. We are not aware of varieties which offer a similar or comparable combination of characteristics.
The new tree was selected from among several thousand seedling from ‘Daigubo’ variety, which had been planted on our farm in Seomyun, Yunkikun, Chungnam, Korea. The seedling was discovered near a specimen of the noted apparent seed parent, which is an late season variety and which normally ripens between August 22 to September 5. Our attention was drawn to this treen when we noticed that the skin of the fruit was very smooth; producing regular form and sweeter by about 1 to 2°(Bx) than the fruit of the parent ‘Daigubo’ variety on the wood. Although the present variety has been originated from ‘Daigubo’, the ripening season is almost the same as the variety of ‘Yumyeong’. Based on these observations, we selected the variety for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety was performed by budding or grafting in our orchard located in Seomyun, Yunkikun, Chungnam, Korea and shows that all characteristics run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagation.
The present new and distinct variety of peach tree has been denominated ‘Star Light’, and the height of the fully grown tree about 3.0 to 3.5 meters, which is almost same as that of the tree, ‘Daigubo’. The diameter of the new tree is about 5 to 7 meters. This tree grows vigorously on standard peach rootstock with a half-open shape with short to medium branches and a regular and productive bearer of extra large, skin with pink overspread with light yellow, white flesh, freestone fruit with a mild, sweet subacidic flavor with excellent eating and stock quality. The fruit is further characterized by having very firm flesh, the ability to hang on the tree 10 to 13 days after maturity (shipping ripe), having good handling and shipping quality and ripening in the middle maturity season, approximately 15 to 20 days after ‘Daigubo’, and approximtely the same as ‘Yumyeong’, which are established commercial varieties in Korea.
FIG. 1 shows typical specimens of the fruit of the new and distinct peach variety; and typical leaf from the tree, ‘Star Light’. The illustrations show an exterior of the fruit and a fruit divided in its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration, pit cavity, and a stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked (firm ripe);
FIG. 2 shows a peach tree ‘Star Light’. The photographic illustration was taken after almost leaves was fallen;
FIG. 3 depicts the comparative picture of sprouts between the parent tree ‘Daigubo’ and the present tree ‘Star Light’.
FIG. 4 depicts the comparative picture of sprouts between the tree ‘Yumyeong’ and the present tree ‘Star Light’.
The colors in the photographs 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, fruit and foliage as based on observations of the specimen grown in our orchard located Seomyun, Yunkikun, Chungnam, Korea, with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with PANTON® Professional Color System Selector (Pantone, Inc., 1984, 1990).
Tree:
Size.—Large.
Vigor.—Vigorous. Having terminal growth of 1.5 to 2 meters per year, with the growth of the trunk terminating at the height of 5 to 7 meters in 3 or 4 years, in Chungnam, Korea.
Form.—Usually pruned to half open shape. The new peach tree grows 1.5 to 2 meters every year from the first to the third year, with the trunk terminating at about 5 to 7 meters height and then the trunk thickening every year, and the branches extending upwardly at an angle of 40 to 55°, growing 1.5 meters to 2 meters a year to a maximum extent of 3 to 3.5 meters. Almost the same branching as the parent tree ‘Daigubo’. To obtain large fruit, about 80% to 90% pruning of the flowers is necessary.
Production.—Productive (300 kg/10a).
Bearing.—Regular.
Density.—Medium dense.
Trunk:
Size.—Medium to stocky.
Texture.—Smooth.
Color.—Brown (18-1124) to (18-1222).
Branches:
Size.—Medium.
Texture.—Varies from smooth to medium rough with maturity.
Lenticels.—Medium size. Medium number.
Color.—Brown (18-1031) to (18-1130) having small parts with light green (16-6329) to (16-6339).
Leaves:
Size.—Medium to large. The shape and size are almost the same as those of ‘Daigubo’ variety.
Average length.—14 to 16.5 cm.
Average width.—2.5 to 2.7 cm.
Form.—Lanceolate-pointed.
Texture.—Smooth.
Thickness.—Medium.
Margin.—Crenate.

Length.—Medium.
Pubescence.—Pubescent.
Flowers:
Size.—Medium — non-showy.
Blooming period.—This variety has the same flowering period as the ‘Daigubo’ peach tree. The tree is self-fertile and so it does not require artificial pollination.
