The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree named ‘NJ358’. Our new tree resulted from crossing ‘Flameprince’ (non-patented) as the seed parent with our proprietary peach seedling selection ‘G47-99-84258’ (non-patented) as the pollen parent. The new variety differs from seed parent ‘Flameprince’ in that the new variety produces larger fruit and that have better flavor and aromatics. The new variety differs from pollen parent ‘G47-99-84258’ in that the new variety has more tolerance to bacterial leaf spot and produces larger fruit that have a more uniform round shape. The resulting tree was selected when growing in a cultivated area as the 197th tree in the 64th row of Block K at a fruit research farm in Cream Ridge, N.J.
‘NJ358’ differs from the related cultivar ‘Autumnglo’ (unpatented), in that ‘NJ358’ fruit are larger than the fruit of ‘Autumnglo’ and the trees of ‘NJ358’ are more tolerant of bacterial leaf spot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni) than ‘Autumnglo’. ‘NJ358’ differs from the related cultivar ‘Parade’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,153), in that ‘NJ358’ fruit have a bright yellow-orange ground color, whereas ‘Parade’ fruit tend to have a yellow-green ground color. The ‘NJ358’ variety is also distinguished from other peach varieties due to the following unique combination of characteristics:
-
- Produces large, nearly round, freestone fruit with a low tendency to split when adequately cropped.
- Fruit have an attractive red blush over a bright yellow-orange ground color.
- Excellent production of fruit that ripen in late season on trees with tolerance to bacterial leaf spot.
- Fruit have superior eating quality due to their aromatic, sweet, and moderately acidic flavor.
The variety was asexually reproduced at a fruit research farm in Cream Ridge, N.J. Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding onto ‘Lovell’ peach seedling rootstock (non-patented) shows that the foregoing characteristics are so reproduced.
The following detailed description concerns the original tree, ‘NJ358’. The original tree and asexual progeny have been observed growing in a cultivated area at a fruit research farm in Cream Ridge, N.J. Certain characteristics of this variety, such as growth and color, may change with changing environmental conditions (such as, light, temperature, moisture, nutrient availability) or other factors. Color descriptions and other terminology are used in accordance with their ordinary dictionary descriptions, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Color designations are made with reference to The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart (1966 Ed.)
This new variety is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawings of the ‘NJ358’ plant at approximately six (6) years old, depicting the peach tree by the best possible color representation using color photography. Colors are approximate as color depends on horticultural practices, such as light level, fertilization rate, and other conditions and, therefore, the color characteristics of this new variety should be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from these illustrations alone.
The colors of and illustration of this type may vary with lighting and other conditions under which conditions and, therefore, color characteristics of this new variety should be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from these illustrations alone.
The following detailed description of the ‘NJ358’ variety is based on observations of an asexually reproduced tree. The observed tree was six years of age and growing on ‘Lovell’ seedling rootstock (non-patented) at the fruit research farm in Cream Ridge, N.J.
