Abstract
A new and distinct peach variety of Prunus persica named ‘NJ353’ is provided. This variety is distinguished from other peach varieties by its unique combination of showy flowers, fruit that ripen in late-season, attractive fruit with a yellow-orange ground color, freestone fruit with a juicy, melting texture and moderately acidic flavor, and good production of firm fruit that maintain their eating quality following cold storage.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of the plant claimed: Prunus persica L.
Variety denomination: ‘NJ353’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree named ‘NJ353’. Our new tree resulted from crossing ‘Biscoe’ as the seed parent with ‘Fairtime’ peach tree, as the pollen parent. The new variety differs from seed parent ‘Biscoe’ (unpatented) in that the new variety has large, showy flowers and firm fruit that ripen in late-season, while the seed parent has small, nonshowy flowers and comparatively soft fruit that ripen in the latter part of mid-season. The new variety differs from pollen parent ‘Fairtime’ (unpatented) in that the new variety has more cold tolerance and has consistently developed a greater percentage of red over color than the pollen parent. The resulting tree was selected when growing in a cultivated area as the 122nd tree in the 47th row of Block G in Cream Ridge, N.J.
The ‘NJ353’ variety is distinguished from other peach varieties due to the following unique combination of characteristics:
-
- Attractive round fruit with a slightly depressed apex point.
- Fruit with an attractive yellow-orange ground color.
- Good production of firm fruit that ripen in late-season.
- Fruit have above average eating quality following cold storage.
The variety was asexually reproduced at the Rutgers Fruit Research and Extension Center in Cream Ridge, N.J. Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding onto ‘Lovell’ rootstock (unpatented) shows that the foregoing characteristics are so reproduced.
The following detailed description concerns the original tree, ‘NJ353’. The original tree and asexual progeny have been observed growing in a cultivated area in Cream Ridge, N.J. Certain characteristics of this variety, such as growth and color, may change with changing environmental conditions (such as, light, temperature, moisture, nutrient availability) or other factors. Color descriptions and other terminology are used in accordance with their ordinary dictionary descriptions, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Color designations are made with reference to The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart.
This new variety is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawings, depicting the peach tree by the best possible color representation using color photography. Colors are approximate as color depends on horticultural practices, such as light level, fertilization rate, and other conditions and, therefore, the color characteristics of this new variety should be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from these illustrations alone.
The following detailed description of the ‘NJ353’ variety is based on observations of an asexually reproduced tree. The observed tree was nine years of age and growing on ‘Lovell’ seedling rootstock (unpatented) in Research Block C in Cream Ridge, N.J.
