Definitions

  • This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree which bears large, yellow fleshed freestone fruit which is commercially desirable, especially by reason of an extremely late ripening period.
  • the fruit of the present variety is distinguishable from other late ripening peaches in that the flesh is relatively juicy rather than mealy or dry, and the color thereof is bright yellow in contrast to the greenish cast of many of such other varieties.
  • Another characteristic of the present variety of peach tree is that the flesh of the fruit does not oxidize and darken upon exposure to air, and the fruit is therefore well adapted for freezing or late canning use.
  • the Candoka peach (United States Plant Patent No. 51) was crossed with the Rio Oso Gem peach (United States Plant Patent No. 84), and a number of the seeds of such cross were planted.
  • One of the resulting seedlings appeared promising in its fruit characteristics and was thus selected for possible breeding purposes, but was found to be commercially undesirable because it was self-sterile.
  • a number of seeds from openpollinated blossoms of such seedlings were planted, and one of the seedlings of this subsequent planting was observed-when it came into bearingto ripen very late, and yet had good quality for market, shipping, freezing, and canning use.
  • Fig. 1 is an elevation of one of the fruit, together with twigs and leaves.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of one of the fruit, with the stone exposed.
  • 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, and the method of growing, including pruning and thinning.
