Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
It is claimed: 1. A new and distinct variety of almond × peach hybrid rootstock tree substantially as illustrated and described, particularly characterized by a high percentage of successful reproductions from hardwood cuttings, by a deep rooting, adventitious root system providing excellent anchorage, by immunity to root-knot nematode infections, Meloidygyne incognita acrita and M. javanica, and by a tree generally resembling the Hansen 536 but slightly more vigorous, roots from cuttings more consistently, and with tree branches which have more green and less red color of the developing leaves and shoots.
