Agent: Fleming’s Nurseries & Associates Pty Ltd,<br />
Monbulk, VIC.<br />
Characteristics (Figure 31) Tree: size large, growth<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 />

red to red pit cavity and red streaks bleeding into flesh from<br />
pit cavity. Skin: thickness medium, tendency to crack very<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 />

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 />
