Abstract
A new and distinct variety of apriocot, Prunus armeniaca tree with the following combination of unique features that are outstanding in a new variety:
1. Late maturity of yellow flesh fruit.
2. Heavy and regular production.
3. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality.
4. Fruit with firm flesh, good handling and shipping quality.
5. Vigorous, semi-spreading growth.
6. Relatively uniform ripening of fruit throughout the tree.
7. Fruit with a high degree of soluble solids (average 16% Brix).
Description
The present new and distinct apricot tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as an open pollinated seedling selection from a seedling, field identification number 6EC35. The seedling (field identification number 6EC35) originated from open pollinated Tri-Gems Apricot (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,755) seeds. We grew and maintained a large group of these open pollinated seedlings under careful observation, during which time one late maturing seedling having especially desirable fruit characteristics, which is the present variety, was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of apricot tree was accomplished by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. and shows that all characteristics are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations and run true to the original tree in all respects.
The present new and distinct apricot tree is of large size, vigorous, semi-spreading growth, and a regular and productive bearer of large, firm, yellow flesh, freestone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by being relatively uniform in maturity throughout the tree, having a high degree of soluble solids (average 16% Brix), having the ability to ship to long distance markets and, in comparison to the fruit from Tri-Gems Apricot (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,755) variety, the fruit is approximately two months later in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of our new and distinct apriocot variety. The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, the exterior and a sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to reveal flesh coloration, and the pit cavity and a stone remain in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the present new variety of apricot tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit as based on observation of speciments 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.
