Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by its heavy yields of fruit which is highly colored with red covering approximately half of its skin surface and has flesh that is free from the stone, has a buttery texture, is clear yellow in color with very little red except bright red near the stone, and when frozen, has high flavor, making it an excellent fruit for commercial freezing.
  • the accompanying drawing is an oil painting of a. characteristic fruit of the subject variety including a showing of the fruit divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and stone characteristics.
  • Trunk medium stocky, shaggy, gray in color.
  • Branches gray in color and shaggy on older limbs; brown and smoother on younger branches; lenticels, numerous and medium size.
  • LEAVES (Selected from 'rnidportion of vigorous terminal shoots) Size: medium thick, lanceolate, tip, accuminate.
  • Color upper surface dark green; lower surface, lighter and more yellowish green; veins on underside, yellow green.
  • Markings margins, glandular crenate; petiole, medium size; glands, reniform, and at base of leaf and on petiole, yellow to brown in color; at base of leaf on young leaves, dropping off early.
  • FLOWERS Buds medium size, plump, free, pubescent.
  • Shape small, non-showy.
  • FRUIT Maturity (when described): firm for nearby market or for freezing commercially.
  • Size large and variable; diameter, axially 2% to 3% inches, transverse in suture plane 2 /2 to 3% inches, right angle to suture plane 2 /2 to 3% inches.
  • Form generally globose to cordate in less ripe fruit; base retuse; apex generally rounded to mucronate; pistil point apical.
  • Suture distinct, shallow, extends from base to near apex but is discontinuous adjacent apex; has slight depression beyond pistil point.
  • Ventral surface slightly lipped in most, on both sides.
  • Cavity flaring; generally elongated in suture plane, with suture showing on both sides, A1, to /2 inch deep, 1 /8 to 1% inches in breadth; markings, same yellow as on skin with red blush where exposed to the sun.
  • Skin medium thick, medium tough, tenacious to flesh, sweet, no tendency to crack; pubescence moderate to scant; color, undercolor yellow 9-K7 with red over about half of the surface from light red 2-1-10 to dark red 6L6.
  • Flesh color, yellow (generally 9-K-5) with red (generally 5L6) near stone and occasionally in flesh in firm ripe fruit with more red in soft ripe fruit; amygdalin, moderate; juice, moderate; texture, meaty when fresh, buttery when frozen; fibers, few and fine; ripens evently; flavor, mild vinuous; aroma, distinct; eating quality, excellent.
  • Shape obovate, tip, accuminate; base, straight to oblique; apex, accuminate and longer than most peaches; sides, equal to unequal; hilum, oval; surface, irregularly furrowed, mostly toward apex; pitted, generally toward base; pits generally elongated; fewer than most peaches; ventral edge thick with many small grooves extending full length of stone; dorsal edge with groove extending three-fourths the way from base toward apex in most.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach substantially as illustrated and described, which is characterized by a very productive tree, bearing fruit which has a highly colored skin with red covering about half of the surface,
