ABSTRACT:
LATIN NAME OF GENUS AND SPECIES
The present invention relates to a new
Persea americana
plant.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Avocado plants in cultivation are mainly varieties of
Persea americana
. The new variety was developed by open pollination followed by seedling selection: an open pollinated seedling was selected at applicant's property in Kwinana, Hope Valley, Western Australia. which displayed precocious and consistent fruit, and which was an improvement to the variety ‘HASS’ inasmuch as it consistently matured earlier than ‘HASS’. DNA profiling has shown that ‘HASS’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 139, now expired) is likely to be one of the parents of the new variety. Propagation by vegetative grafting onto rootstocks in Kwinana, Hope Valley, Western Australia has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new variety are transmitted through succeeding generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a new and distinctive Avocado plant having precocious and consistent fruit set similar to that of its parent variety, ‘HASS’, but which matures consistently approximately 4 to 6 weeks earlier than that of its parent variety ‘HASS’.
The new variety was asexually reproduced by vegetative grafting onto Guatemalan Avocado, Reed variety (not patented), seedling rootstocks and then advantageously planted in soil consisting of deep sands.
