Abstract
A new and distinct variety of peach tree with the following unique combination of desirable features:
1. Low winter chilling requirement of approximately 250 hours.
2. Heavy and regular production of fruit.
3. Producing large, firm, yellow flesh fruit.
4. Fruit with good storage and shipping quality.
5. Fruit having good flavor and eating quality.
6. Vigorous, semi-upright growth.
Description
The present new variety of peach tree was developed by us in the experimental orchards located near Modesto, Calif. as a third generation cross between an open pollinated Red Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060) seedling and Desert Gold Peach (non-patented). A large group of these third generation seedlings were grown and maintained under careful observation, during which time we recognized the desirable characteristics described above and selected the variety for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
Asexual propagation of the new and distinct variety of peach tree was preformed by budding in the experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., shows that said characteristics run true to the original tree and are identical in all respects.
The herein variety of peach tree is of large size, vigorous, semi-upright in growth and a regular and productive bearer of large size, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit ripening in mid June. The fruit is further characterized by relatively uniform ripening throughout the tree, holding firm on the tree for 5-6 days after picking ripe, having good flavor and eating quality with the ability to ship to long distance markets. In comparison to its low chilling parent, Desert Gold Peach (non-patented), the fruit is larger in size, has firmer flesh with greater shipping quality, ripens more uniformly and matures approximately two weeks later.
The accompanying photographic illustrations show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of our new peach variety, the upper and lower surface of the leaves being shown, with fruit specimens showing the exterior and a sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and showing a stone remaining in place. The illustrations were taken shortly after being picked at maturity (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as reasonably possible in color representation of this type.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new and distinct variety of peach tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observations of specimens grown at Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common color terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
