The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree named ‘NJ357’. Our new tree resulted from crossing our proprietary peach seedling selection ‘H15-20-90258’ (non-patented) as the seed parent with ‘Summerprince’ (non-patented) peach tree, as the pollen parent. The new variety differs from seed parent ‘H15-20-90258’ in that the new variety produces viable pollen and has a more sweetness and aromatics. The new variety differs from pollen parent ‘Summerprince’ in that the new variety produces larger fruit that are sweet and lower acidity. The resulting tree was selected when growing in a cultivated area as the 47th tree in the 7th row of Block H at a fruit research farm in Cream Ridge, N.J.
The ‘NJ357’ variety is distinguished from related cultivar ‘Autumnglo’ (unpatented), in that ‘NJ357’ fruit has a sweet, subacid flavor, and ripens in mid-season, whereas ‘Autumnglo’ fruit has an acidic flavor, and ripens about 4 weeks later. ‘NJ357’ differs from the related cultivar ‘Encore’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,572), in that ‘NJ357’ fruit has a sweet, subacid flavor, and ripens in mid-season, whereas ‘Encore’ fruit has an acidic flavor, and ripens about 4 weeks later. The ‘NJ357’ variety may also be distinguished from other peach varieties due to the following unique combination of characteristics:
-
- Nearly round fruit with a low tendency to split when adequately cropped.
- Large, yellow-orange fleshed fruit, with an attractive red blush and orange-red mottle over a bright yellow-orange ground color.
- Excellent production of firm fruit that ripen in midseason.
- Fruit with a good to very good eating quality and sweet, subacid 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, ‘NJ357’. The original tree and asexual progeny have been observed growing in a cultivated area at the 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)
This new variety is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawings, 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 ‘NJ357’ 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 said fruit research farm in Cream Ridge, N.J.
