The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apricot tree named ‘NJA152’. Our new tree resulted from planting an open pollinated apricot seed from an unknown cultivar. The new variety differs from other apricot cultivars in that the fruit have glabrous skin and the tree tends to bloom later in the spring. The resulting tree was selected when growing in a cultivated area as the 1st tree in the 82nd row of Block D at a Research Center in Cream Ridge, N.J.
The ‘NJA152’ variety is distinguished from other apricot varieties due to the following unique combination of characteristics:
The variety was asexually reproduced at said Research Center in Cream Ridge, N.J. Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding onto Lovell rootstock (unpatented) shows that the foregoing characteristics are so reproduced.
The following detailed description concerns the original tree, ‘NJA152’. The original tree and asexual progeny have been observed growing in a cultivated area at said Research Center in Cream Ridge, N.J. Certain characteristics of this variety, such as growth and color, may change with changing environmental conditions (such as, light, temperature, moisture, nutrient availability) or other factors. Color descriptions and other terminology are used in accordance with their ordinary dictionary descriptions, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Color designations are made with reference to The 1996 Edition of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart.
This new variety is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawings, depicting the apricot tree by the best possible color representation using color photography. The colors of and illustration of this type may vary with lighting and other conditions under which conditions and, therefore, color characteristics of this new variety should be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from these illustrations alone.
The following detailed description of the ‘NJA152’ variety is based on observations of a budded tree. The observed tree was 7 years of age and growing on ‘Lovell’ peach rootstock in Research Block C at the Research Center in Cream Ridge, N.J.
