Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by hearing highly colored, yello'w firm fleshed, freestone peaches which ripen at approximately the same time as the Rio Oso Gem variety (Plant Patent No; 84).
- Another object has been to provide a new peach variety which produces fruit of satisfactory size without excessive pruning or thinning.
- a collateral object has been to produce a new peach variety characterized by moderate but consistent fruit set, minimizing pruning and thinning requirements without being subject to irregular production.
- Another object has been to provide a peach tree of the character described which is vigorous and healthy but of medium size so as to be susceptible to picking without excessively tall ladders and yet be of sufficient size to produce satisfactory yields when planted the usual commercial distances.
- Fig. 1 is a water color painting of a characteristic fruit bearing twig of the subject peach tree having leaves and a mature peach thereon.
- Fig. 2 is a water color painting showing a characteristic fruit of the subject peach tree divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and showing a pit in place therein.
- peach tree The most distinctive characteristic of the instant variety of peach tree is that its fruit has more red on its skin surface, and is firmer fleshed than other freestone peaches ripening at the same time.
- Shape Medium size, vigorous, neither upright nor spreading but medium in shape, productive, regular bearer.
- Trunk Medium stocky, medium shaggy, brownish, grey in color.
- Branches Older branches, greyish and shaggy, younger branches, brown to reddish brown and more smooth. Lenticels-medi'um in quantity, medium in size.
- Glands-2 to 4 average 3, opposite and alternate, medium size, reniform, green to yellowish green, on petiole and base of leaf.
- Form Globose, tip mucronate to cuspidate.
- Stone Free with a few short fibers remaining along the ridge on some stones; adherence to flesh, none.
- a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by highly colored firm yellow fleshed freestone peaches ripening with the variety Rio Oso Gem (Plant Patent No. 84) but distinguished from Rio Oso Gem (Plant Patent N0. 84) and being an improvement thereon by having a more vigorous tree, generally less pronounced suture, redder skin color, and a tendency of the fruit to hold its firmness longer when fully colored.
