Definitions
- the herein claimed new and distinct variety of apricot tree is large, vigorous, upright, dense, vase-formed, selffertile, and a regular and very productive bearer of large, freestone fruit; the variety being importantly characterized by unusually long and progressive blooming and ripening periods, each of at least three weeks duration. While the fruit individually ripens evenly, the over-all crop on the tree ripens progressively during the harvest period of the unusually long duration mentioned above; i.e. only a portion of the crop being ripe and ready for picking at any given point of time in such harvest period.
- the advantage of such progressive ripening of the fruit resides in the fact that such characteristic makes the tree extremely desirable for home gardens in that fresh fruit is provided over a span of time. much longer than normal to other varieties.
- the herein claimed new and distinct variety of apricot tree is further importantly characterized by an apparent substantial resistance to pit burn. Neither the original tree of the variety nor any of the asexual reproductions thereof have experienced any pit burn, while known varietiessuch as the Tilton, Blenheim, and others-growing "ice in the same agricultural area and under identical weather conditions have evidenced occurrences of such defect.
- the drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with fruit and leaves, and detached fruit; one detached fruit being cut into halves to expose the flesh, and with the. stone remaining in one such half.
- Suture.-Distinct extends from base to apex.
- apricot tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown; the present description being of the variety as grown in the general vicinity of Visalia, Tulare County, Calif.
- a new and distinct variety of apricot tree substantially as illustrated and described, which is large, vigorous, upright, dense, vase-formed, self-fertile, and a regular and very productive. bearer of large, freestone fruit; the variety being particularly characterized by unusually long and progressive blooming and ripening periods, each of at least three weeks duration, and further characterized by a substantial resistance to pit burn.
