Description
Botanical designation: Interspecific Prunus species.
Variety denomination: ‘Carlsbad’.
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 interspecific tree was originated and asexually reproduced by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif.
Among the existing varieties of interspecific trees, which are known to us, and mentioned herein, ‘Honey Rich’ Interspecific (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,292), ‘Kylese’ Interspecific (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,123) and our non-patented proprietary interspecific seedlings with the field identification numbers ‘29ZH154’, ‘10MA521’, ‘3ZC416’, ‘176LM586’, ‘9ZC962’ and ‘289LF578’.
Not applicable.
The new and distinct variety of interspecific tree, consists of crosses between the following species Prunus armeniaca, Prunus salicina and Prunus persica. It was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. as a first generation cross between our proprietary non-patented interspecific seedlings with field identification numbers ‘29ZH154’ and ‘10MA521’. The non-patented interspecific seed parent (29ZH154) originated from the cross of our proprietary non-patented interspecific seedlings ‘3ZC416’ and ‘176LM586’. The non-patented interspecific pollen parent (10MA521) originated as an open pollinated seedling selection from our proprietary non-patented interspecific seedling ‘9ZC962’ which is a first generation cross of ‘Honey Rich’ Interspecific (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,292) and our non-patented interspecific seedling ‘289LF578’. A large number of these first generation seedlings were budded onto older established trees of ‘Nemaguard’ Rootstock (non-patented) to enhance earlier fruit production. Under close and careful observation the present budded seedling exhibited desirable fruit and tree characteristics and was selected in 2011 for additional asexual propagation and commercialization.
In 2011 asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of interspecific 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 interspecific tree which consists of multiple crosses between Apricots, Plums and Peaches is of large size, vigorous, semi-spreading growth and a regular and productive bearer of large size, yellow-orange flesh, freestone fruit. The fruit is further characterized by having an attractive orange skin color, good flavor and eating quality and having good storage and shipping quality. In comparison to its non-patented interspecific seed parent ‘29ZH154’ the fruit of the new variety is larger in size and is approximately 19 days earlier in maturity. In comparison to its non-patented interspecific pollen parent ‘10MA521’ the fruit of the new variety has yellow-orange flesh compared to orange and is approximately 23 days earlier in maturity. In comparison to the commercial variety ‘Kylese’ Interspecific (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,123) the fruit of the new variety is larger in size and is approximately 5 days earlier in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new interspecific 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.

Any variety or selection observed during indexing of plant characteristics with abnormal fungus, bacterial, virus or insect susceptibility is destroyed and eliminated from our breeding program. No atypical resistances/susceptibilities have been noted under normal cultural practices. The present new variety of interspecific tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climate, soil conditions and cultural practices under which the variety may be grown.
