ABSTRACT:

LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Prunus persica.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Supechfifteen’.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the discovery and asexual propagation of a new variety of clingstone peach,
Prunus persica
cv. ‘Supechfifteen’. The new variety was first hybridized by Bruce D. Mowrey on Apr. 25, 1994, and selected and evaluated by Bruce D Mowrey and David W. Cain near Mecca, Riverside County, Calif. The variety was originated by hybridization. The new variety cv. ‘Supechfifteen’ is characterized by possessing large, yellow-fleshed fruits that are blocky in shape with a less pronounced tip. The fruits are firm in texture, and a red overcolor is present on approximately 50-70% of the fruit surface.
The seed parent is the ‘Flordaglo’ variety (unpatented), while the pollen parent is the ‘Flordaglobe’ variety (unpatented). The parent varieties were first crossed in February 1992, with the date of sowing being October 1992. The first flowering was January 1994. The new ‘Supechfifteen’ variety was first asexually propagated by Bruce D. Mowrey in June 1994 by budding.
The new variety cv. ‘Supechfifteen’ ripens at approximately the same time as its pollen parent, the ‘Flordaglobe’ variety, but differs in several characteristics. ‘Supechfifteen’ has larger fruit (169 g compared with 115 g for ‘Flordaglobe’). The new variety also has less overcolor than ‘Flordaglobe’, (50-70% compared to 60-80% with ‘Flordaglobe’). The new variety ‘Supechfifteen’ has a lower chilling requirement than ‘Flordaglobe’, requiring approximately 150 hours of temperatures below 45° F. compared to 500 hours for ‘Flordaglobe’. The new variety ‘Supechfifteen’ may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘Flordaglo’ by having yellow flesh as compared to the white flesh of ‘Flordaglo’.
The new variety cv. ‘Supechfifteen’ may be distinguished from presently available low-chilling varieties in commerce by several characteristics. ‘Supechfifteen’ ripens approximately three days before ‘Flordaprince’, and has larger-sized fruit than ‘Flordaprince’ (approximately 169 g per fruit compared to 110 g per fruit in the ‘Flordaprince’ variety). The new variety ripens approximately 13 days before the ‘Tropic Beauty’ variety.
The new peach variety cv. ‘Supechfifteen’ has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics through successive asexual propagations by, for example, budding.
