Abstract

The present invention relates to a peach-almond hybrid tree, Prunus sp., and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, extremely vigorous, hardy, self-sterile, light producing and irregular bearing tree. The nut matures under the ecological conditions described in mid August, with the harvest date on Aug. 10, 2013. The tree is most useful for a commercial rootstock, which has shown to be compatible with all tested almonds. The tree has a strongly developed root system and has shown to be very drought tolerant, very tolerant to excess rain and irrigation, and somewhat resistant to nematodes while having an unknown susceptibility to crown rot, oak root fungus, crown gall, and bacterial canker. As a rootstock, the tree supports very heavy production from budded commercial almond varieties.

Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.

We claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of peach-almond hybrid tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Arthur V’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,782) by being a peach almond hybrid tree that is utilized primarily as a rootstock for prunus varieties, somewhat nematode resistant, deep rooting, and self-sterile, that has globose leaf glands, and that produces almond-like fruit, but is distinguished therefrom by being more vigorous, by being more tolerant to excess water, by being more drought tolerant, by being more tolerant to saline soil types with high ph conditions, by being less productive of its own fruit, and by having fruit that matures in August instead of September.
