Nov. 20, 1973 C. F. ZAIGER PEACH TREE Filed Feb. 24, 1972 Plant Pat. 3,411
United States Patent "Ice 3,411 PEACH TREE Chris Floyd Zaiger, 537 Rosemore Ave., Modesto, Calif. 95351 Filed Feb. 24, 1972, Ser. No. 229,218 Int. Cl. A01h 5/03 US. Cl. Plt.-43 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A variety of peach tree which is of medium-to-large size, vigorous, medium dense, and medium upright in growth; the tree being a productive and regular bearer of medium-to-large size, early ripening, clingstone fruit having firm, yellow flesh, and yellow skin substantially overspread with red.
Origin of the variety The present variety of peach tree was discovered by me growing as a bud sport on a Royal Gold (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,663) peach tree in my experimental orchard located in Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif. Subsequent to recognition by me of the novel characteristics-which will hereinafter appear-of said bud sport, I propagated the variety in anticipation of ultimate introduction to the trade and to meet an existing demand for a peach tree so characterized.
Asexual reproduction of the variety The present variety of peach tree was asexually reproduced' by mein my said experimental orchard-by budding, and, in maturity, such reproductions ran truein all respects-to the orginial bud sport.
Summary of the variety The present variety of peach tree is of medium-tolarge size, vigorous, medium dense, upright in growth, and a productive and regular bearer of medium-to-large size, early ripening, clingstone fruit having firm, yellow flesh, and yellow skin overspread with a high degree of red; the fruit ripening, and being in harvest, ten to fourteen days earlier than the Royal Gold.
The present variety of peach tree is further characterized by fruit whose flesh has a slightly more acid flavor, and a greater degree or depth of yellow color in maturity, than the Royal Gold.
Additionally, while the fruit of the present variety is characteristically of clingstone type, some areas of the pit may frequently be free of the flesh when the fruit is fully ripe.
Brief description of the drawing The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, one whole fruit, and a cut fruit half with the stone remaining in place therein.
