Application No: 1995/197 Accepted: 15 August 1995.<br />

Applicant: Laszlo Kocsis, Wattle Grove, TAS.<br />

Agent: Geoffrey Britton, Neerim East, VIC.<br />

Characteristics (Table 34, Figure 38) Tree: vigour strong,<br />

habit spreading, distribution of flower buds on spurs and on<br />

one-year old shoots. One year old shoots: anthocyanin on<br />

tip weak, lenticels many and prominent, feathering<br />

medium. Leaf: length medium (mean 64mm), width<br />

medium (mean 66mm). Leaf Blade: colour green (RHS<br />

<strong>13</strong>7A), shape of base sub-cordate, shape of tip cuspidate,<br />

angle of tip obtuse, incisions on margin bicrenate,<br />

undulation of margin medium, angle of cross section acute.<br />

Petiole: length long (mean 40mm), anthocyanin colouration<br />

of upper side strong, anthocyanin colouration of lower side<br />

weak, number of glands on petiole mean of 3.65, size of<br />

glands medium. Flower: size medium (mean width 30mm).<br />

Flower Petal: shape slightly elliptical, length long (mean<br />

<strong>13</strong>mm), width medium (mean 12mm). Fruit: shape in<br />

profile triangular, shape in frontal view rectangular, fruit<br />

length medium (mean 45mm), fruit breadth medium (mean<br />

48mm), symmetry along suture asymmetric, shape of tip<br />

flat, surface smooth, ground colour of skin orange RHS<br />

21B, intensity of anthocyanin colouration medium, extent<br />

of anthocyanin colouration medium, distribution of<br />

anthocyanin colouration isolated flecks, colour of flesh<br />

orange RHS 25B, texture of flesh medium, percentage of<br />

stone by weight medium (7.6%), adherence of stone to flesh<br />

present and medium. Stone shape oblong. Time of<br />

beginning of flowering: late (Sep 10th Cobram, VIC). Time<br />

of maturity: medium/late Dec 25 (Cobram, VIC) (Note: all<br />

RHS colour chart numbers refer to 1995 edition)<br />

Origin and Breeding Phenotypic selection: a seedling<br />

plant was selected in the orchard of the breeder in 1992,<br />

which was characterised by large fruit size and later<br />

maturity. From this plant, budwood was taken for grafting<br />

onto H29-C rootstock in VIC from which ‘Huon Pride’ has<br />

been developed. The parentage of the original seedling<br />

plant is not known and DNA tests show no genetic match<br />

with known commercial varieties. Selection criteria: large<br />

fruit, with late maturity time. Propagation: vegetatively by<br />

budwood. ‘Huon Pride’ will be commercially propagated by<br />

vegetative cuttings from the stock plants. Breeder: Laszlo<br />

Kocsis, Wattle Grove, TAS.<br />

Choice of Comparators ‘Tilton’ and ‘Hunter’ were<br />

considered for the comparative trial, as these are similar<br />

varieties of common knowledge. ‘Tilton’ is a widely<br />

available commercial variety, which has a very similar<br />

maturity time and fruiting characteristics. ‘Hunter’ was<br />

selected on the basis of its late maturity time.<br />

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Tilton’, ‘Hunter’.<br />

Location: Cobram, VIC 1996-99. Conditions: trees 4 years<br />

old, grafted onto H29-C rootstocks. Trees planted on 3m<br />

spacings as free standing specimens. Pest and disease<br />

treatments applied as required. Fertiliser and irrigation<br />

followed commercial practice. Trial design: randomised<br />

complete block design with five replicates. Two trees per<br />

plot. Measurements: taken from 20 samples per replicate.<br />

Prior Applications and Sales<br />

No prior applications. First sold in <strong>Australia</strong> 1997.<br />
