Definitions
- the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof, broadly characterized by its uniformly very firm flesh and the bright undercolor of its skin which is covered by a red blush covering about half the surface of fruit exposed to the sun, and by an extremely short pubescence.
- the instant variety most nearly resembles the Improved Pacifica (US. Plant Patent No. 2,425) but is an improvement thereon in having a brighter undercolor on the skin, a shorter pubescence, and flesh which is uniformly firm as contrasted with the flesh of the Improved Pacifica which is firmer near the outside, and softer inside.
- I originated this variety by planting seeds of the Mer rill Bonanza peach at Red Bluff, Calif.
- the pollen parent was presumed to be a nectarine as determined by planting seeds from open pollinated blossoms of the instant variety and observing that about one-fourth of the resulting trees bore nectarines.
- the instant variety asexually reproduced was budded to seedlings of Nemaguard peach trees at Schwarz, Tulare County, Calif, and the resulting tree and fruit characteristics from such budding proved identical to the original tree.
- the accompanying drawing is an oil painting of a characteristic twig of the subject peach tree bearing foliage and a mature fruit, and additionally, showing a fruit of the subject variety divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and stone characteristics.
- Trunk Medium size, medium shaggy, gray, lenticels medium in size and quantity.
- Leaves Medium size and shape, averaging 1% to 1% inches in width and 5% to 7 /2 inches long; shapelanceolate; tip-accuminate, medium thick; color of upper surface-light green 13-L-1; surfacesmooth on young leaves, rugose on older leaves; margin-arenate; petiole-medium length; deciduous.
- Glands Two to eight in number averaging three, and positioned at the base of the leaf and on the upper length of the petiole; stipules at the base of the leaf dropping ofl? early as the leaf grew.
- FLOWERS Midseason, first blooming Feb. 24, 1968; a year of early blooming, full bloom Mar. 3, 1968; pink in color, large and showy, pollen moderate in amount.
- Form Generally globose.
- Suture A distinct shallow line extending from base to beyond and discontinuous at apex, with slight depression beyond the pistil point.
- Ventral surface Rounded, slight lips usually unequal.
- Cavity Oval, elongated in a suture plane, with suture showing strongly on one side, slightly on the other side; yellow, usually with red markings; to /2 inch deep, to 1 /8 inches wide.
- Skin Medium thin, medium tender, tenacious to flesh unless very ripe, pubescence slight to almost none, Very short; under color light yellow 10K5, overtone deep yellow 3-A-l2, overlaid on fruit which has been exposed to the sun for about half the surface with red streaks 8J6 to medium red 4L9 to light red 4-Kl1.
- Flesh Color, yellow varying from light yellow 9L-2 to darker overtones of yellow 9L-7 and showing red 6L6 next to the stone; amygdalin, moderate; juice, moderate; texture, uniform through, firm to moderately soft but meaty when fully ripe; fibers, few, fine, tender; ripens, evenly; flavor, delicate, vinuous, aroma distinct; eating quality, best.
- Stone Completely free from the flesh; fibers, mostly short; size, medium to small, length average 1% inches, breadth average one inch, thickness average inch; form, generally obovate to oval with small apical tip; base, generally straight; hilum, oval; apex, mucronate; sides, generally unequal, flattened on some on one side; surface, irregularly furrowed near base, and to some extent throughout, generally pitted toward base; pits, generally elongated; ventral edge, thicker than dorsal edge and furrowed throughout, with deeper furrows on the edges; dorsal edge, full, with deep groove from base to near apex; color, light brown l5-E12 with dark brown spots 48-L12.
- a new and distinct variety of peach substantially as illustrated and described and which is characterized by the very bright yellow undercolor of its skin, the very short and scant pubescence on the skin, its firmness of flesh, and its uniform texture of the flesh and resemblance to Improved Pacifica (U.S. Plant Patent No. 2,425') but distinguished therefrom primarily by the characteristics of being slightly later in ripening, having a brighter undercolor of the skin, and having flesh that is more uniformly firm in texture.
