Abstract
A new Japanese haskap plant particularly distinguished by wide, vigorous, spreading bush, elliptical-shaped fruits, large fruit having a sweet/tart taste and maturing mid-season, is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Lonicera caerulea L. ssp. emphyllocalyx.
Variety denomination: ‘Maxines Opus’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lonicera caerulea L. ssp. emphyllocalyx and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘Maxines Opus’. Variety ‘Maxines Opus’ is a new cultivar of Japanese blue honeysuckle berry, also known as Japanese haskap, a plant grown for its fruit that is marketed as fresh fruit, frozen fruit and many processed products.
‘Maxines Opus’ arose from a controlled breeding program in Corvallis, Oreg. that commenced in 2000. The overall objective of the breeding program was to develop superior cultivars of this early ripening berry plant that can be successfully grown in moderate, temperate climates, as well as in colder regions. Specific objectives include upright growth habit, fruit that is attractive, large in size, firm texture, and good tasting. Fruit should have a medium strong attachment to the peduncle to avoid pre-harvest drop and to facilitate ease of picking, and yields should be high.
‘Maxines Opus’ was selected in 2012 from among a population of seedlings resulting from a cross of the parental lines between the female parent ‘84-105’ (unpatented) and the male parent ‘65-18’ (unpatented) in Corvallis, Oreg.
‘Maxines Opus’ was first asexually propagated via hardwood stem cuttings in 2012 in Corvallis, Oreg. Further observations in 2017 demonstrated that the characteristics of this new cultivar are stable, and ‘Maxines Opus’ was found to reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation via hardwood stem cuttings.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new variety when grown under normal horticultural practices in Corvallis, Oreg.
-
- 1. ‘Maxines Opus’ is a wide, vigorous, spreading bush;
- 2. ‘Maxines Opus’ has a unique fruit shape that is basically elliptical but has a flat apex with rolled edges, giving the fruit a jar-shape;
- 3. ‘Maxines Opus’ has large, attractive fruit;
- 4. ‘Maxines Opus’ tends to bear 3 to 4 fruits per new shoot;
- 5. ‘Maxines Opus’ has firm fruit with good a sweet/tart taste and a BRIX of 15.0;
- 6. ‘Maxines Opus’ fruit matures in mid-season;
- 7. ‘Maxines Opus’ has a medium fruit attachment to stem, strong enough to avoid pre-harvest drop and loose enough to permit picking without tearing fruit flesh.
This new Japanese Haskap plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which shows the plant's overall plant habit including form, fruit, and foliage. The photographs are of a 5-year old bushes grown outdoors in Corvallis, Oreg. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The following detailed descriptions set for the distinctive characteristics of ‘Maxines Opus’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in a research farm near Corvallis, Oreg. on 5-year-old bushes. The phenotype of this new variety will vary somewhat with variation in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions as it has not been tested in other environments. Color references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) 2015.
