Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by being a tree which has a very late bloom and, within a short ripening season, bears large, yellowfleshed, freestone peaches having a skin of an intensely red color.
- a distinctive characteristic of the present variety is its ripening date which, in California, is about that of the 'Redhaven (unpatented) peach tree or about thirty days earlier than the Elberta (unpatented) peach tree. Furthermore, the fruit has a slightly raised suture and a skin of a rich, red color. In comparison with Merricle P-75 peach tree of United States Plant Patent No. 1,872, which it most nearly resembles, the instant variety ripens at about the same time, but is more productive, has larger and more vigorous leaves, and produces larger and firmer fruit, which is distinctly more intensely red in color.
- the accompanying drawing is a water color painting of a characteristic twig of the subject peach tree hearing foliage and a mature fruit and additionally, showing a fruit of the subject variety divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and pit characteristics.
- Trunk Medium stocky, medium smooth.
- Branches Lenticels, medium in quantity, medium sized.
- Leaves (Selected from midportion of vigorous unbranched terminal shoot 18" to 24" long.)
- Flower buds Medium size, medium length, truncate to obtuse, plump, free, pubescent.
- Form Variable, globose to some slightly obovate.
- Cavity-Haring abrupt, elongated in suture plane, suture showing on both sides. Depth, to /3", average /2". Breadth to /2", average Markings yellow to yellowish green, red blush extending in some.
- Skin Medium thick, medium tender, tenacious to flesh when firm ripe, free when soft ripe, no tendency to crack.
- Stone Free, adheres to flesh along ventral edge near base on some, with short fibers when soft ripe, retains short fibers, like threads along ridge on some.
- a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described and which is characterized by its late bloom averaging five days later than the Redhaven (unpatented) peach tree; its bearing within a short ripening season of large, yellow-fleshed, freestone fruit having a slightly raised suture and a skin of a rich, red color, the fruit ripening about with Redhaven peach tree but approximately thirty days ahead of Elberta (unpatented); and in its most nearly resembling Merricle peach tree of United States Plant Patent No. 1,872, ripening at about the same time, but being distinguished therefrom in its greater vigor and productivity and in its bearing of larger, firmer fruit having a skin more distinctively intensely red in color.
