  • Peach tree `Ivory Princess`
    Patent number: PP11205
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peach tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium sized, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in June, with first picking on Jun. 1st, 1997. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, very good in flavor, attractively globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, white in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color. The variety was developed as a first generation cross using `Crown Princess` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,070) yellow flesh peach as the selected seed parent and `June Pearl` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,360) white flesh nectarine as the selected pollen parent.

  • Clingstone peach tree named `Late Ross `
    Patent number: PP11208
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of peach tree (i.e., Prunus persica) is provided that originated as a scaffold mutation of unknown causation of the `Ross` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,863). The new cultivar forms attractive fruit that is well suited for canning which matures approximately ten days later than that of the parent `Ross` cultivar. Commonly a distinct red stripe is formed on the suture line of the fruit. All other characteristics of the new cultivar are believed to be substantially identical to those of the `Ross` cultivar. The later fruit maturity offers fruit growers and canneries more flexibility in the harvesting and canning of the fruit crop through the simultaneous growing of the `Ross` cultivar and the new cultivar of the present invention without sacrifice of fruit quality.
