Description
Botanical designation: Prunus persica.
Variety denomination: ‘Mazee’.
In the field of plant genetics, we conduct an extensive and continuing plant-breeding program including the organization and asexual reproduction of orchard trees, and of which plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, almonds and interspecifics are exemplary. It was against this background of our activities that the present variety of peach tree was originated and asexually reproduced by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif.
Among the existing varieties of peach trees, which are known to us, and mentioned herein, ‘Super Lady’ Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,578), ‘Super Zee’ Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,874) and the non-patented proprietary peach seedling selections ‘390LU304’, ‘53ZH1029’, ‘211LK116’ and ‘7LL75’.
Not applicable.
The new and distinct variety of peach tree (Prunus persica) was developed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. as a first generation cross between our proprietary non-patented peach seedlings ‘390LU304’ and ‘53ZH1029’. The seed parent (390LU304) originated from the cross of our non-patented peach seedling selections with the field identification numbers ‘211LK116’ and ‘7LL75’. The pollen parent (53ZH1029) was developed from the cross of ‘Super Zee’ Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,874) and ‘Super Lady’ Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,578). A large number of these first generation seedlings were planted and grown on their own root system. Under close and careful observation we recognized the desirable tree and fruit characteristics of the present seedling and selected it in 2010 for additional asexual propagation and commercialization.
In 2010 asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of peach tree was by budding to ‘Nemaguard’ Rootstock (non-patented), as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that reproductions run true to the original tree and all characteristics of the tree and its fruit are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
The present new variety of peach tree (Prunus persica) is of large size, vigorous, upright growth and a regular and productive bearer of large size, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit with very good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by its attractive red skin color and good handling and storage quality. In comparison to its seed parent (390LU304) the fruit of the new variety is larger in size. In comparison to its pollen parent (53ZH1029) the fruit of the new variety has a lower winter chilling requirement and is approximately 4 days earlier in maturity. In comparison to the commercial variety ‘Super Zee’ Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,874) the fruit of the new variety is larger in size, has a higher degree of Brix and is approximately 4 days later in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new peach variety.
The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a single fruit divided in its suture plane to show flesh color, pit cavity and the stone remaining in place.
The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked (shipping ripe) from a 5 year old tree and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
