USA<br />

Agent: Fleming’s Nurseries & Associates Pty Ltd,<br />

Monbulk, VIC.<br />

Characteristics (Figure 31) Tree: size large, growth<br />

upright, density medium dense, bearing regular. Trunk size<br />

medium, Branches: size medium, surface smooth to<br />

medium rough, lenticels numerous medium to large size,<br />

colour light brown to brown. Leaf: large, mean length<br />

152mm, mean width 41mm, form lanceolate, apex pointed,<br />

margin crenate, texture smooth, thickness medium, petiole<br />

medium length and medium thickness, nectaries varying in<br />

number from one to four, shape reniform positioned on<br />

upper portion of petiole and lower portion of leaf blade,<br />

colour of upper surface green to dark green, lower surface<br />

dull green to greyish green. Flower: bud size medium to<br />

large, length medium, form plump, flower form showy,<br />

colour pink, pollen present. Fruit: size large mean diameter<br />

axially 76mm, mean transversely in suture plane 82mm,<br />

form nearly globose, slightly flattened at stem with slight<br />

apical tip, suture shallow nearly rounded extending from<br />

base to just beyond apex, cavity nearly rounded slightly<br />

elongated in suture plane, base retuse, apex slight pistil<br />

point usually slightly more pronounced on one side. Flesh:<br />

ripens evenly, texture firm, juice moderate, flavour sweet,<br />

mild, sub-acidic, colour white to pinkish white with a rose<br />

red to red pit cavity and red streaks bleeding into flesh from<br />

pit cavity. Skin: thickness medium, tendency to crack very<br />

rounded, apex acuminate, surface irregularly furrowed<br />

toward apex, pitted throughout heavier toward base, sides<br />

equal to unequal, tendency to split none, colour brown to<br />

reddish brown.<br />

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />

‘21GA1110’ x pollen parent ‘32EA260’. The seed parent<br />

originated from a cross between ‘Ruby Gold’ nectarine (US<br />

Plant Patent 3,101) and ‘Redwing’ peach (US Plant Patent<br />

621) and the pollen parent originated from a cross between<br />

‘O’ Henry’ peach (US Plant Patent 2,964) and ‘Giant<br />

Babcock’ peach (US Plant Patent 1,353). A large group of<br />

these third generation seedlings were grown and maintained<br />

under close observation and one such late maturing<br />

seedling, which is the present variety having especially<br />

desirable fruit characteristics was selected for asexual<br />

reproduction and commercialisation. Propagation: budding<br />

onto peach rootstock. Breeder: Zaiger’s Inc. Genetics,<br />

Modesto, California, USA..<br />

Choice of Comparators ‘Arctic Queen’ A and ‘Arctic<br />

Show’ A syn Arctic Snow A were selected as the closest<br />

varieties of common knowledge. ‘Arctic Queen’ A differs<br />

from ‘Arctic Pride’ as it matures approximately 15 days<br />

before ‘Arctic Pride’ and ‘Arctic Show’ A syn Arctic Snow A<br />

matures approximately 10 days after ‘Arctic Pride’.<br />

PLANT VARIETIES JOURNAL 2001 VOL <strong>14</strong> NO. 2<br />

Comparative Trial The description is based on overseas<br />

data obtained from the U.S. Plant Patent 8450, dated the 9<br />

Nov 1993. Some characteristics were verified under<br />

<strong>Australia</strong>n growing conditions. Trees of ‘Arctic Pride’<br />

planted in Fleming’s Nurseries virus tested scion wood<br />

multiplication block have been observed for the past 4 years<br />

and indicate that the variety is distinct, uniform and stable<br />

through several generations of propagation and has<br />

remained true to type of original mother trees in the United<br />

States of America.<br />

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />

‘Sundel’ A syn Delilah A x pollen parent ‘Selcarbonium’ syn<br />

Honesty in a planned breeding program. The seed parent is<br />

characterised by tall bushy habit, medium green leaves,<br />

single flowering stems, with star shaped flowers of mauve<br />

colour (RHS 70D, 1995). The pollen parent is characterised<br />

by tall bushy habit, medium green leaves, single flowering<br />

stems, of very pale pink flowers (RHS 49D to 155C, 1995).<br />

Hybridisation took place in Cranbourne, VIC in 1996. The<br />
