Abstract
The new blueberry plant variety ‘RIDLEY 4609’ is provided. The variety is produced from a cross of ‘C95-152’ (unpatented) and pollen parent ‘C00-09’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,778), which can be distinguished by its outstanding features.
Description
Latin name of genus, and species:
Genus—Vaccinium.
Species—hybrid.
Variety denomination: The new blueberry plant claimed is of the variety denominated ‘RIDLEY 4609’.
None.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct perennial variety of Vaccinium hybrid (Southern Highbush Blueberry), which has been given the variety denomination of ‘Ridley 4609’. Its market class is that of a fruiting plant. ‘Ridley 4609’ is intended for use as fresh fruit for shipping, customer pick and processing markets and as a home garden plant.
The new Vaccinium hybrid cultivar is a selection resulting from seedlings produced in a breeding programme of Vaccinium at Lindendale, NSW, Australia in August 2006 from the controlled pollination of seed parent ‘C95-152’ (unpatented) with pollen parent ‘C00-09’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,778). The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single plant, breeder code M08-46-09, within a population of 100 resulting Vaccinium hybrid plants from this controlled pollination in October 2008 in a commercial field plantation environment at Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia. It was monitored over the next three years with five inspections per year to confirm consistency of traits. Selection criteria were, in combination, unique aromatic desirable tasting fruit produced in late season, firm, oblate shaped fruit, medium plant growth vigor, low chilling requirement, late time of vegetative bud burst and flowering, medium fruit size, medium yield, and small picking scar.
The selection was evaluated for a number of years at commercial farms at Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cutting propagation since 2008 at Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The new Vaccinium hybrid cultivar is a selection resulting from seedlings produced in a breeding programme of Vaccinium at Lindendale, NSW, Australia in August 2006 from the controlled pollination of seed parent ‘C95-152’ (unpatented) with pollen parent ‘C00-09’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,778).
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the seed parent ‘C95-152’ primarily in having an upright to semi-upright plant growth habit, medium fruit yield and oblate shaped fruit with a desirable flavor whereas the seed parent has upright plant growth habit, round shaped fruit with a distinct, highly aromatic unpleasant flavor and low yield. Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the pollen parent ‘C00-09’ primarily in medium plant growth vigor, early to medium time of vegetative bud burst, early to medium time of first flowering, early to medium time of first fruit ripening, medium fruit size and round to slightly oblate fruit shape whereas the pollen parent has strong plant growth vigor, semi-upright to spreading plant growth habit and very large fruit size.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘RIDLEY 4609’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Vaccinium hybrid plant:
-
- 1. Late time of vegetative bud burst
- 2. Late timing of beginning of flowering
- 3. Late timing of berry ripening
- 4. Medium plant growth vigor
- 5. Berry is firm
- 6. Picking scar is dry
- 7. Leaf width is broad
- 8. Berry size is medium
- 9. Berry sweetness and acidity making a unique aromatic desirable tasting fruit
- 10. Bloom on berry is weak to medium
- 11. Dark blue berry color
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the seed parent ‘C95-152’ primarily in having an upright to semi-upright plant growth habit, medium fruit yield and oblate shaped fruit with a desirable flavor whereas the seed parent has upright plant growth habit, round shaped fruit with a distinct, highly aromatic unpleasant flavor and low yield. Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the pollen parent ‘C00-09’ primarily in medium plant growth vigor, early to medium time of vegetative bud burst, early to medium time of first flowering, early to medium time of first fruit ripening, medium fruit size and round to slightly oblate fruit shape whereas the pollen parent has strong plant growth vigor, semi-upright to spreading plant growth habit and very large fruit size.
The accompanying photographic illustration shows typical specimens in full color of the foliage and fruit of a 4 year old plant of the new variety ‘Ridley 4609’. The colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized. The color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new blueberry.
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Ridley 4609’. The data that define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions of the original selection. Dimensions, sizes, colors, and other characteristics are approximations and averages set forth as accurately as possible. The plant history was taken on plants approximately 4 years of age, and the descriptions relate to plants grown in the field in Tabulam, New South Wales, Australia. Descriptions of fruit characteristics were made on fruit grown in Tabulam, New South Wales, Australia. Color designations are from Tabulam, New South Wales, Australia. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 2007 edition.
