Abstract
The present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in June, with first picking on June 3, 1990. The fruit is uniformly large in size, excellent in flavor, attractively globose in shape, clingstone in type, very firm and nonmelting in texture, and almost full red in skin color. The variety was developed by crossing two unnamed peach seedlings, the seed parent having Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) nectarine as its seed parent and Springcrest (unpatented) peach as its pollen parent.
Description
In a continuing effort to improve the quality of shipping fruits, we, the inventors, typically hybridize a large number of nectarine, peach, plum, apricot, and cherry seedlings each year. The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, which has been denominated varietally as "Crimson Lady". The present variety was hybridized in 1984 by us in a cultivated area of our experimental orchard at Bradford Farms near Le Grand, Calif. in Merced County (San Joaquin Valley). It was developed by crossing two unnamed peach seedlings, the seed parent having Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) nectarine as a seed parent and Springcrest (unpatented) peach as a pollen parent. Subsequent to origination of the present variety of peach tree, we asexually reproduced it by budding and grafting, and such reproduction of plant and fruit characteristics were true to the original plant in all respects.
The fruit produced by the present peach variety most closely resembles one of its grandparents, Springcrest (unpatented) peach, by being large in size, heavy in production, and early maturing, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by having almost full red skin color at ripening time, by being clingstone in type, by having excellent sweet flavor, by ripening 7 days later, and by being extremely firm and non-melting in texture.
The present variety exhibits desirable characteristics common to its other grandparent, Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) nectarine, by producing firm fruit that is nearly full red at harvest time, but noticeably differs by being a peach instead of a nectarine, by being clingstone instead of freestone, by having a large blossom instead of a small blossom, and by ripening about 28 days earlier.
The accompanying photograph displays the characteristics of the whole fruit in skin color and form, a characteristic fruit divided transversely to its axial diameter showing the flesh and stone, and typical leaves.
Referring now more specifically to the pomological characteristics of this new and distinct variety of peach tree, the following has been observed under the ecological conditions prevailing near Le Grand, Merced County (San Joaquin Valley), Calif., and was developed at the state of hard eating ripe on Jun. 7, 1990.

Although the new variety of peach tree possesses the described characteristics under the ecological conditions at Le Grande, Calif., in the central part of the San Joaquin Valley, it is to be expected that variations in these characteristics may occur when farmed in areas with different climatic conditions, different soil types, and/or varying cultural practices.
Claims (1)
1.
