Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of almond tree, and particularly to such a tree having certain characteristics similar to the unpatented Nonpareil but which matures later, while blooming at substantially the same time. While the crop production per tree of the instant variety is comparable to the production of a healthy tree of Nonpareil, it consistently produces a much heavier crop on a per acre basis. This is due to the instant varietys greater resistance to a disease known as almond bud failure which is frequently referred to as crazy-top disease with which the Nonpareil is generally susceptible and alfected. Accordingly, the crop productivity per acre of the instant variety has been found to be approximately seven percent greater than the Nonpareil.
- the subject almond tree originated from a Nonpareil bud propagated on a Lovell (unpatented) peach seedling and was discovered by the applicant as a sport in a row of such budded Nonpareil trees on Lovell peach seedlings growing in his nursery at 3226 South Athlone Road, Merced, California.
- the present variety has certain characteristics similar to the unpatented Nonpareil, but is markedly different in its consistent bearing of regular crops, the size of its crops being much greater than the average crop of the Nonpareil under similar conditions.
- the blossoms of the subject variety, and the resulting fruit when pollinized, are arranged in clusters along the branches of the tree to a much greater degree than the Nonpareil, and the major portion of the crop is borne by the trees in this manner.
- the maturity date of the present variety is later than the Nonpareil, but earlier than the Mission variety.
- the drawing isan illustration by photographic reproduction in color, of a portion of a branch of an almond tree of the new variety showing the partially mature crop arranged in clusters along the branch.
- the drawing also illustrates mature hulled nuts, both with and without the shell removed, which are representative of the crop borne Patented June 7, 1966 Mission varieties and consistently borne full crops each year during a test .period of more than five years, whereas the Nonpareil and the Mission have borne alternately or less frequently.
- Trunk Medium caliper; surface typical for almonds.
- Leaves Lengths 5 to 7 /2 cm.; width 1 to 2 cm.; less sharply creased than Nonpareil and presents a flattened appearance; acuminate to lanceolate, medium thickness; glossy; smooth.
- Blossoms Arranged in clusters to a much greater degree than Nonpareil; major portion are groups of clusters of three or more.
- Kernel usually single kernel in each shell; very few doubles as distinguished from Nonpareil;
