Abstract
A peach tree which is of medium size, open density, vigorous, spreading upright, foliated with medium size, lanceolate, abruptly pointed leaves having a serrulate margin, both globose and reniform glands and the stipules are long on mature foliage, blooms early to medium with a large size which is conical in shape and flattening at full bloom, showing, pink large flowers, and a very productive bearer of average, uniform, oblate very rounded, very late ripening freestone fruit having golden yellow with red blush skin, and yellow to cherub orient pink flesh, the surface of the pit cavity being red. The fruit ripens substantially after the last commercial variety presently grown.
Description
The present new and distinct variety of peach tree was observed some distance from the inventor's orchard growing as a volunteer in the inventor's yard of his home. The inventor observed the tree blooming and fruiting uncharacteristically and took particular note of the late ripening period and the prolonged duration of time the fruit remains on the tree when ripe.
A number of plants of the present variety were asexually reproduced by budding; the work was performed under a contract between the inventor and a commercial nursery. Clones of the original seedling were identical to the parent plant in every distinguishing characteristic.
The present variety of peach tree is, characteristically, of medium size, excellent vigor, with an open, spreading upright structure; foliated in medium quantity lanceolate, abruptly pointed leaf having a medium serrate margin and mixed glands of both globose and reniform type; blooms mid-season with showy pink flowers up to 21/4" diameter and apparently self fertile and producing abundant pollen. The tree is a high yield, productive bearer of a heavy well set crop of medium sized peaches of the free stone variety having yellow, extremely firm, non-melting flesh and red coloration around the pit. The skin color is golden yellow with a red blush over approximately 50% of the skin area. The skin possesses a light pubescence.
The tree is a vigorous grower, the original tree exhibiting approximately eight feet of top growth in one year. The trunk texture is slightly rough; the branch texture is smooth on one-year old wood, changing to slightly rough in the second year growth. Pruning methods and cultivation practices basically determine tree size and shape.
The tree blooms in early March in the San Joaquin Valley. Flower buds are light pink, conical shaped which flatten out at full bloom. Internode length varies from average to slightly less than average. The fruit begins to size quickly in late September or early October resulting in very late ripening from October 22nd onward.
During the last two weeks of maturation the red blush becomes pronounced and the fruit continues to size well (21/2" to 23/4" average diameter). The ripe fruit hangs well on the tree into November. The initiation of dormancy, as indicated by yellowing leaves and leaf fall, is delayed on the instant peach until the crop has matured and is removed from the tree.
Sheet 1 of the drawing, top color photograph, shows a flowering stem in peak bloom stage with numerous open blossoms in various stages of maturity. The photograph also shows the bark color of fruiting wood, internodes, bud scale scars, and vegetative buds of such wood. The bottom color photograph depicts a typical stem of the tree having mature, late season foliage; three whole fruit of the variety in various positions to depict the exterior color and the shape of fruit at harvest stage; and, one fruit split along the suture to show flesh color, stone pit color, the stone, and the surface characteristics of the stone.
Sheet 2 of the drawing shows the shape of a mature specimen of the tree in full bloom before foliation. This photograph also shows the character and strength of the trunk, color and surface texture characteristics of mature bark of the variety of this disclosure; the branching habit of the tree and the shape of a mature specimen of the tree.
