Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, denominated "June Sun", which responds very well to girdling and produces yellow fleshed, semi-cling fruit with skin tenacious to the flesh and of high red color ready for harvest about the fifth to the eighth of June in the San Joaquin Valley of California.
- the commercial value of tree fruit is frequently directly related to how early in the season the fruit can be delivered to market. Thus, the earlier ripening varieties of tree fruit often are of the greatest commercial value.
- the "Spring Crest" peach tree is an example of a variety which is commercially successful, in part, because of its early ripening fruit.
- the variety of the present invention is distinct from such known varieties of peach tree in that it ripens early and responds well to girdling. Girdling advances the date of harvest to before that of the "Gem Free" peach tree, while if ungirdled the variety will be ready for harvest after the "Gem Free” peach tree. Furthermore, girdling of the instant variety does not seem to affect the holding quality or color of the fruit and splitting of the stones of the fruit, while virtually nonexistent if the trees are not girdled, is very minor where the trees are girdled.
- the new variety was asexually propagated under my direction at H. P. Metzler & Sons in 1978 by grafting several seedlings with scions from the newly discovered seedling. In the winter of 1979 the grafted seedlings were planted in a test nursery of H. P. Metzler & Sons at Del Rey, Calif. The seedlings of the new variety were observed in the nursery over several growing seasons and the tree and fruit characteristics resulting from such asexual reproduction proved to be identical to those of the original seedling of the new variety.
- the instant variety of peach tree is characterized by producing yellow fleshed, semi-cling fruit having a skin of bright red to yellow coloration tenacious to the flesh ready for harvest about June 8 to June 10 in the San Joaquin Valley of California when ungirdled and responding quite well to girdling by advancing the harvest date of the fruit several days without affecting the holding quality or color of the fruit and with only a very minor percentage of splitting of the stones thereof.
- the accompanying drawing is a color photograph of four mature fruit of the instant variety, one positioned to show the stem, a second positioned to show the apex, a third positioned to show the side having the suture and a fourth sliced along its longitudinal axis with the pit left in place.
- a representative twig is also shown in the photograph with characteristic leaves.
- Trunk Normal size with medium size lenticels, 10 to 12 per square inch and dark brown in color (62-d.g.y.Br.).
- Branches Normal size with medium size lenticels, 10 to 12 per square inch and dark brown in color (62-d.g.y.Br.).
- Petiole. approximately 3/8 inch [0.9525 cm] in length and 1/8 inch [0.3175 cm] in width.
