ABSTRACT:
Latin name genes and species—
Prunus persica
.
Variety name: Weiser.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
This invention relates to peach trees and, more specifically, to a peach tree referred to as a variety of
Prunus persica
Batsch.
I discovered this new and unique variety of peach tree as a limb mutation on a ‘Bellaire’ tree (not patented) in a cultivated area near York Springs, Pa. The tree of this invention produces a fruit of attractive commercial value, ripening a week to 10 days after ‘Bellaire’ and five days after ‘Loring’ (not patented).
This new variety of peach was asexually reproduced by grafting rootstock—‘Lovell’ (not patented) near Aspers, Pa. and such reproduction has shown this new variety to come true in two successive generations. This propagation of the new variety by grafting under standard controlled conditions clearly discloses the continued maintenance of the characteristics described herein which distinguish this new variety from the parent variety and other related varieties of peach trees.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new and distinctive variety of peach tree produces a yellow-fleshed, freestone fruit that is attractively colored, uniformly shaped, large, exceptionally firm and flavorful. It ripens after ‘Bellaire’ and ‘Loring’, during an advantageous harvest window for the Mid-Atlantic fruit-growing region. The fruit has a red blush that is more attractive than ‘Loring’ and covers a greater portion of the fruit surface than ‘Bellaire’. The tree is vigorous, drought tolerant and has a regular bearing habit.
