Abstract
A new and distinct Citrus reticulata cultivar named ‘WG32’ is disclosed, characterized by having distinctive oblate shaped fruit with a distinctive stem end nipple. Trees fruit heavily, producing both large and below average sized fruit, with different peeling characteristics. The new cultivar is a Citrus reticulata, useful for commercial fruit production.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Citrus reticulata.
Title: Tangerine Tree Named ‘WG32’.
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 seed parent is the unpatented commercial variety Citrus reticulata ‘Lee’, the pollen parent is an unnamed, unpatented proprietary Citrus reticulata.
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 ‘WG32’ 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 ‘WG32’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘WG32’ as a new and distinct Citrus reticulata cultivar:
-
- 1. Fruit develops unique stem end nipple.
- 2. Trees fruits heavily with below average size fruit.
- 3. Has distinct high note flavor profile (both acid and brix).
- 4. Ripens during Late October and November window; fruit less than moderately firm. Fruit is tender to the touch and can easily bruise at 50% color break.
- 5. Two different peeling characteristics; larger fruit peels easier than smaller fruit.
- 6. Fruit colors up on the tree without degreening.
- 7. Average of 10-12 seeds per fruit.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘WG32’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Citrus reticulata ‘Lee’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘WG32’ differs in the following ways;
-
- 1. Stem end nipple is much more pronounced.
- 2. Smaller fruit size.
- 3. Fruit is more oblate.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘WG32’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent, in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘WG32’ differ in the following;
-
- 4. Stem end protrusion is more pronounced.
- 5. Smaller fruit size.
- 6. More uniform fruit color.
- 7. Higher acid content.
- 8. Peel adheres more tightly.
- 9. Does not appear to be susceptible to Alternaria fungal attacks.
The new variety is best compared to the commercial variety, ‘Dancy,’ unpatented. ‘WG32’ is similar to ‘Dancy’ in many horticultural characteristics; however, ‘WG32’ differs in the following ways;
-
- 1. Has tighter peel.
- 2. Has a more consistently pronounced nipple.
- 3. Average fruit size is smaller.
- 4. Fruit on the tree is more uniform in color.
- 5. More compact tree size.
- 6. Less limb breakage.
‘WG3’ can also be compared to ‘Sunburst’, unpatented. The two varieties are similar in many horticultural characteristics; however ‘WG32’ differs in the following ways;
-
- 1. Rougher peel
- 2. More pronounced and distinct stem and nipple.
- 3. Easier to peel fruit, with less albedo.
- 4. Lower seed count.
- 5. Less deep orange in external color.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color examples of typical fruit harvested from ‘WG32’.
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.
