Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct varietythereof broadly characterized by its medium-sized spreading form and its vigorous and heavy bearing of brilliantly red-colored skin, deep yellow-fleshed, finely textured completely freestone peaches having a firm outer flesh area near the skin.
- the instant variety blooms early as compared with most other peach varieties at about the same time as the July Elberta peach tree (Plant Patent No. 15).
- the instant variety is about the same size as the J. H. Hale (unpatented) peach tree. Its fruit ripens at about the same time as the Merrill Gold Rush (unpatented) peach tree, which the instant. variety most nearly resembles.
- the instant variety is distinguished from the Merrill Gold Rush by being somewhat smaller but more spreading and bearing more heavily fruit having more brightly red-colored skin with freestone flesh which is firmer near the skin.
- the large peach trees commonly developed for producing peaches for market are, because of their size, ditficult economically to prune, thin, and pick. Such large trees have heretofore been regarded as necessary to provide a sufficient crop to support suificient production per acre to make such operation economically feasible. Furthermore, the peaches produced thereby must be picked at a time prior to full ripening so that the flesh thereof is sufficiently firm to minimize bruising during picking, handling, and shipping. The flavor of such peaches prematurely picked in order to be able to withstand such handling is greatly inferior to peaches which are permitted to remain on the tree until more nearly ripened. Such early picking also adversely affects the skin coloring of the peaches, which impairs their marketability.
- Another object was to achieve a peach having a brighter and more attractive skin color.
- Another object was to develop a new peach tree of a somewhat smaller, more greatly spreading form.
- Another object was to produce a heavier bearing peach tree.
- I originated the present variety of peach tree on a farm formerly owned by me at Red Bluff, Tehama County, California, in the following manner: Seeds were planted from open pollinated blossoms of the Merrill Gold Rush (unpatented) peach tree. The resultant seedlings were permitted to bear and the fruit carefully examined. The present variety was selected as having outstanding characteristics and was asexually reproduced by grafting to a Merrill June peach tree on a farm formerly owned by me at Lamont, Kern County, California. When the scion came into bearing, the fruit and tree characteristics resulting from such grafting proved identical to those of the original tree.
- the accompanying drawing is a water color painting of a characteristic twig of the subject peach tree bearing 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 shaggy.
- Branches Lenticles, numerous in quantity, medium sized. Leaves: Selected from midpor-tion of vigorous unbranched terminal shoot from 18" to 24" long.
- the fruit of the instant variety ripens right after the Red Haven during the first and second weeks in July in Kern County of California and about the second and third weeks of July in Tehama County, California. More specifically, the ripening period for the fruit in Tehama County was from July 15 to July 24 in 1960; from July 10 to July 28 in 1961; and from July 10 to July 18, 1962. In Kern County, the fruit ripened from July 10 to July 18, 1960 and from July 5 to July 16, 1961.
- Form Variable, generally cordate, some obovate.
- Suture.lnconspicuous extends from base and discontinues at apex. Has slight depression beyond pistil point.
- Ventral edge.-Thick usually has a deep narrow fur row on each side and a central shallow furrow disappearing toward the tip and apex.
- peach tree possesses the described characteristics under the growing conditions in Lamont, Kern County, California, having been first observed near Red Bluff, Tehama County, California, at the northern end of the Sacramento Valley, it is to be understood that variation of the usual magnitude in characteristics incident to the growing conditions, fertilization, pruning and pest control is to be expected.
- a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described and which is characterized by its vigorous growth; its medium size in resemblance to the J. H. Hale (unpatented) peach tree, its spreading form and its regular and heavy bearing of completely freestone, deep yellow-fleshed, finely textured fruit which is substantially firmer in its outer areas near the skin and which most closely resembles the Merrill Gold Rush (unpatented) peach tree from which it is distinguished in its smaller size, greater vigor and productivity and in its bearing of fruit having a more attractive brilliantly redcolored skin with firmer flesh providing greater resistance to bruising.
