Abstract

A new and distinct variety characterized by a green-colored, large sized seedless grape that ripens during the first week of September, approximately four weeks later than the Thompson Seedless Grape (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: The claimed plant relates to a new and distinct variety of Vitis vinifera to be known as ‘Sheegene-14’.
Variety denomination: This invention relates to a new discovery and asexual reproduction of a new variety of Vitis vinifera. The new variety was first hybridized by Timothy P. Sheehan of Porterville, Calif. in Spring 2000; first flowering occurred in May 2003. The pollen parent is Autumn Seedless (unpatented) and the seed parent is Red Globe (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,787). The new variety was asexually propagated in the dormant season of 2003/2004, bud grafted on Harmony, virus-free rootstock, in a Vitis vinifera variety block located near Fowler, Calif. on the west side of Thompson Road, north of Adams Road. The green-colored seedless grapes produced by the new variety are large in size and mature approximately four weeks later than Thompson Seedless (unpatented). The new variety has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics through asexual propagation.
The new variety is distinguished from its pollen parent, Autumn Seedless (unpatented), as compared in that the new variety produces green-colored seedless grapes to the white-colored grapes produced by the pollen parent, Autumn Seedless (unpatented). The new variety is distinguished from its seed parent, Red Globe (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,787), in that the new variety produces green-colored seedless grapes, as compared to its seed parent, Red Globe (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,787), that produces red-colored seeded grapes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of grape which will hereinafter be denominated as ‘Sheegene-14’ and more particularly as a grapevine which produces a large, green-colored seedless grape that matures approximately during the first week of September in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The new invention most closely resembles Thompson Seedless (unpatented) but it produces a larger grape that is very sweet, has very good flavor, and matures approximately four weeks later.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The ‘Sheegene-14’ grapevine is characterized by producing a large size green seedless grape with very good flavor that is mature for harvesting and shipment in approximately the first week of September in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The new variety can be compared to Thompson Seedless (unpatented) but the grapes mature approximately four weeks later, among other distinguishing characteristics.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying drawing is a colored photograph of the grapes produced by the subject variety; several leaves are displayed as well as a typical section of the vine. Across the top of the color photograph to the left and center are secondary growth clusters; to the right is a mature leaf displaying the upper surface and petiole. Across the middle of the color photograph on the left is a mature grape cluster; in the center on the top is a shoot and tendrils and small leaves; in the center on the bottom are five berries (three longitudinally and two horizontally) displaying the flesh and shape; to the right is a shoot and tendrils and small leaves. Across the bottom of the color photograph to the left a mature leaf displaying the bottom surface; and to the right is a mature cane displaying tendrils, nodes, and small leaves.
