Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by a vigrous tree, regularly producing large, firm fruit with a bright red color over 50% to 75% of its skin surface on average mature trees and a bright yellow undercolor, which matures about two weeks after Rio Oso Gem (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 84), a date at which no other variety of peach so highly colored and regularly producing matures.
  • the accompanying drawing is an oil painting of a characteristic mature fruit of the subject peach variety showing the shape and skin color, and by means of a fruit divided on its suture plane, showing the flesh and stone color and the freedom of the flesh from the stone in a mature fruit.
  • medium size, vigor and density may be pruned to vase shape.
  • Trunk straight, medium stocky, shaggy and gray.
  • Lenticels medium in quantity and size.
  • Twigs medium size with medium internode length; current seasons growth, green; older growth, brown.
  • LEAVES Shape lanceolate, tip accuminate.
  • Color dark green upper surface, medium green lower surface, light yellowish green veins on the under surface.
  • Petiole generally about /8 inch long.
  • Plant Pat. 3,413 Patented J a n. l, 1974 2 FLOWERS
  • Buds medium size, free, plump, pubescent. Blooms: large, showy, pink. Date of bloom: early to mid-season, about with Fiesta (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,099). Pollen: abundant.
  • FRUIT (described at maturity) Season of ripening: about three weeks later than Angelus (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,966), about two weeks later than Rio Oso Gem (U .8. Plant Pat. No. 84), and about with or slightly later than Merricle L-l20 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,071).
  • Size and shape generally very large; generally globose but variable; axial diameter, 2% to 3% inches; transverse in suture plane, 2 /2 to 3% inches; and at right angle to suture plane, 2% to 3% inches.
  • Suture shallow, extends from base but discontinues at apex, a few have a deep suture to 4 inches long at the stem end; slight depression beyond pistil point.
  • Cavity medium size, elongated in suture plane; depth, to inches; width, V2 to 1 inch; color, the same as skin, showing red where exposed to sun.
  • Base retuse to emarginate.
  • Apex retuse; pistil point, apical, to inch long.
  • Stem about A; to 4 inch long, 4; inch in diameter.
  • Skin color undercolor, lightest Golden Glow 9-L-6 to medium Forsythia yellow 9-K 9, with 50% to of the surface an average mature tree covered with Brigand red 2-I-l1 to Cardinal S-L-6.
  • Flesh Color yellow Ta-Ming l0-L-6, with red in flesh near pit Chianti 6L6.
  • Amygdalin moderate.
  • Fibers moderate, tender.
  • Flavor mild subacid.
  • Size medium; length, 1% to 1%; Width, 1 /8 to 1% inches, thickness to 78 inch.
  • Ventral edge many small grooves with deeper grooves on each side;
  • a new and distinct variety of peach tree substantially as illustrated and described; being particularly characterized by a vigorously growing, regularly and heavily bearing tree, With fruit that is firm and large, has a bright red skin color over 50% to 75% of its surface and a bright yellow undercolor, and ripening about two weeks 4 after Rio Oso Gem (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 84); and most nearly resembling the Angelus (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,966), but being an improvement thereon in ripening about three Weeks later.
