Abstract
A new and distinct peach variety of Prunus persica named ‘NJ356’ is provided. This variety is distinguished from other peach varieties by its unique combination of non-showy flowers, fruit that ripen in latter part of the season, attractive fruit with a red blush over a yellow-white ground color, freestone fruit with a juicy, melting texture and low acid flavor, and good production of firm fruit.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of the plant claimed: Prunus persica L.
Variety denomination: ‘NJ356’.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree named ‘NJ356’. Our new tree resulted from crossing D90-9 as the seed parent with NJ318 peach tree, as the pollen parent. The new variety differs from seed parent D90-9 (unpatented) in that the new variety has small, non-showy flowers and fruit that ripen in the latter part of the season, while the seed parent has large, showy flowers and fruit that do not ripen during a typical growing season. The new variety differs from pollen parent NJ318 (unpatented) in that the new variety ripens two weeks later and produces well colored, firm fruit, while the pollen parent produces fruit that soften rapidly with a low percentage of blush. In comparison to the commercial peach variety ‘Snow Giant’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No.8,085), the fruit of the new variety has a brighter ground color and matures approximately 10 days earlier. The fruit and leaves of the new variety are also more tolerant to bacterial leaf spot than ‘Snow Giant’. The resulting tree was selected when growing in a cultivated area at a fruit research center in Cream Ridge, N.J.
The ‘NJ356’ variety is distinguished from other peach varieties due to the following unique combination of characteristics:
-
- Attractive round fruit with a depressed, nearly inconspicuous apex point.
- Fruit with an attractive red blush over an orange-white ground color.
- Good production of firm fruit.
- Fruit with a sweet, low acid flavor.
The variety was asexually reproduced at the fruit research center. 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, ‘NJ356’. The original tree and asexual progeny have been observed growing in a cultivated area at the research center 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. (1966 Edition)
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 colors and illustration of this type may vary with lighting and other conditions and, therefore, 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 ‘NJ356’ variety is based on observations of an asexually reproduced tree. The observed tree was six years of age and growing on ‘Lovell’ seedling rootstock (unpatented) in at said fruit research center in Cream Ridge, N.J.
