Definitions

  • the peach tree of the present invention occurred as a limb sport in an orchard of Preuss Suncrest peach trees (U.S.. Plant Pat. No. 2,797) at 8690 N. Minnewawa, near the city of Clovis, county of Fresno and State of California owned by the applicant.
  • the present variety of peach tree generally possesses the attributes of the Preuss Suncrest peach trees as to vigor of growth, large size, regular and heavy bearing and in the production of large, free-stone, red and yellowskinned, firmly textured, yellow-fleshed peaches but is distinguished from the Preuss Suncrest in the red coloration of the fruit being somewhat lighter and brighter but less extensively dominant over the yellow, firmer, more nearly spherical and ripening six days earlier.
  • the latter distingushing characteristic is particularly significant to the commercialization of the new variety, it being well known in the fresh fruit industry that a difference in ripening time of only a few days can make the difference between an economically successful year or an actual loss.
  • Usually the earlier ripening of fruit of given characteristics is a distinct pricing advantage.
  • the new variety blooms in the latter part of March at about the same time as the Pay Elberta (unpatented) "and the Preuss Suncrest.
  • the blossoms are self pollinating, of large size and pale to moderate pink (2.5R 9/ 35R 8/5) with some darkening to strong pink (2.5R 7/ 8
  • the fruit usually ripens during the third quarter of July about six days earlier than the Preuss Suncrest and the Merrill 49er (unpatented).
  • Size Generally large. Shape: Plump. Surface: Pubescent.
  • Axial diameter 6.5 cm.
  • Diameter transverse in suture plane 7 cm.
  • Diameter transverse at right angles to suture plane 6.75 cm.
  • Symmetrical or asymmetric Symmetrical.
  • Ventral surface Rounded, lips equal.
  • Thickness Thin.
  • Amygdalin None observed.
  • Flavor Sweet, subacid.
  • peach tree and its fruit described above may vary in response to variations in climate, soil, and cultural conditions. However, when grown with proper farming techniques under the ecological conditions prevailing in the eastern part of the county of Fresno of the State of California, its characteristics are as described above.
