Abstract
A new and distinct Citrus reticulata cultivar named ‘C37’ is disclosed, characterized by production of large, nearly seedless fruit of beautiful internal and external color that peels very easy. Plants do not require a cross-pollinator for fruit production. The new cultivar is a Citrus reticulata, Tangerine tree useful for commercial fruit production.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Citrus reticulata.
Title: Tangerine Tree Named ‘C37’.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted during 2000 under the direction of the inventor, Bill Roe, a citizen of the United States. The inventor no longer has record of the seed parent, the pollen parent is unknown.
This new variety was found in November 2006 in a commercial nursery in Winter Haven, Fla. Plants were first propagated by tissue culture, using embryo culture, in 2006 and subsequently grafted onto rootstocks US-897 and US-942. Development, evaluation, tissue culture and grafting all first took place at the inventor's commercial nursery in Winter Haven, Fla. USA. Subsequent evaluations of the variety have shown the characteristics to be true to type.
The cultivar ‘C37’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘C37’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘C37’ as a new and distinct Citrus reticulata cultivar:
-
- 1. Large fruit with Moderately slick skin fruit.
- 2. Low seed count.
- 3. Very easy and dry to peel.
- 4. High brix and moderate acid fruit with delightful flavor.
- 5. Self pollinating.
- 6. Heavy fruiting.
7. Has a crunchy and yet juicy internal disposition with a rich juice color.
Seed Parent is unknown. Plants of the new cultivar ‘C37’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, Citrus reticulata ‘Honey Tang’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘C37’ differ in the following ways;
-
- 1. Fruit is much earlier to mature.
- 2. Peel color a much deeper orange.
- 3. Significantly fewer seeds.
- 4. Less oblate fruit shape.
- 5. Tree grows less upright.
The new variety is best compared to the commercial variety, ‘Tangelo,’ unpatented. ‘C37’ is similar to ‘Tangelo’ in many horticultural characteristics; however, ‘C37’ differs in the following;
-
- 1. Much easier to peel.
- 2. Peels dry with very little peel oil.
- 3. Fruit less sensitive to plugging.
- 4. Internal fruit color is a deeper orange.
- 5. Far fewer seeds.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color examples of typical fruit harvested from ‘C37’.
Photographs are taken of plants approximately 2 years old. The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘C37’ plants grown outdoors under commercial trial conditions in Winter Haven, Fla. USA.
