Abstract
A new and distinct variety of apricot Prunus armeniaca, tree, which has the following unique combination of the features that are desirable in a new variety:
1. Early maturity of fruit.
2. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality.
3. Heavy and regular production.
4. Vigorous, semi-spreading growth.
5. Fruit with firm flesh, good handling and shipping quality.
Description
The present new and distinct variety of apricot tree was developed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a second generation seedling from a cross between two selected seedlings, field identification numbers 78EB575 and 123GD161. The maternal parent (78EB575), originated as a seedling selection from seedlings grown from an open pollinated Spring Giant Apricot (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,138) seeds. The paternal parent (123GD161), originated as a seedling selection from seedlings grown from open pollinated Earlicot Apricot (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,198) seeds. A large number of these second generation seedlings were planted and grown under careful observation by us. One such seedling, which is the present variety, having especially desirable fruit characteristics, was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The present new variety of apricot tree was asexually propagated by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., shows that all said characteristics run true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations and come true to the original tree in all respects.
The herein described new variety of apricot tree is of large size; vigorous, semi-spreading growth; and is a productive and regular bearer of early maturing, medium size, firm, yellow flesh, freestone fruit with good handling and shipping quality. The fruit is further characterized as having good flavor and eating quality, and being relatively uniform in ripening throughout the tree. In comparison to Earlicot Apricot to U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,198), the new variety is approximately 10 to 11 days earlier in maturity.
The accompanying photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the new variety of apricot tree. The illustration depicts the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to show flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after the fruit was picked at maturity (shipping ripe), and the colors are as nearly true as reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a botanical detailed description of the new variety of apricot tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, based on observations of specimens grown in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
