Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Vaccinium hybrid plant named ‘RIDLEY 1403’, characterized by its combination of upright to semi-upright plant growth habit and strong plant growth vigor, evergreen foliage, very early flowering, early to medium time of ripening of fruit, very large fruit size, medium firm fruit suited to handling, attractive dark blue fruit color, flavorsome fruit with good sweetness and acidity balance and a small dry picking scar. This combination results in high quality fruit with larger size than other varieties.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Vaccinium hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘RIDLEY 1403’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct perennial variety of Vaccinium hybrid (Southern Highbush Blueberry), which has been given the variety denomination of ‘RIDLEY 1403’. Its market class is that of a fruiting plant. ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is intended for use as fresh fruit for shipping, customer pick and processing markets and as a home garden plant.
The new Vaccinium hybrid cultivar is a selection resulting from seedlings produced in a breeding programme of Vaccinium at Lindendale, NSW, Australia in 2006 from a controlled pollination of seed parent ‘S02-25-05’ (unpatented) by pollen parent ‘S03-08-02’ (unpatented). The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single plant designated ‘M08-14-03’ within a population of one hundred plants of Vaccinium hybrids in 2008 in a commercial field plantation environment at Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia. Selection criteria was a combination of strong plant growth vigor, low chilling requirement, early to medium season of fruit ripening, small picking scar, strong berry firmness, high yield, very large berry size, good flavor, and sweet, crisp fruit. The selection was subsequently evaluated for over two years at commercial farms at Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cutting propagation since 2008 at Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia and has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The new variety has been primarily compared to the ‘C99-42’ (U.S. Pat. No. 20,695). In Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia the plant growth vigour of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘strong’ whereas the plant growth vigour of ‘C99-42’ is ‘medium to strong’. The leaf width of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘broad’ (mean 35.1 mm) whereas the leaf width of ‘C99-42’ is ‘medium to broad’ (mean 30.2 mm). The berry diameter of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘very large (mean 24.0 mm) whereas the berry diameter of ‘C99-42’ is ‘large’ (mean 18.4 mm). The berry calyx basin diameter of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘large’ (mean 8.1 mm) whereas the berry calyx basin diameter of ‘C99-42’ is ‘medium’ (mean 6.3 mm). The berry sweetness of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is rated as ‘high’ whereas the sweetness of ‘C99-42’ is ‘medium’. The berry acidity of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is rated as ‘medium to high’ whereas the acidity of ‘C99-42’ is ‘low to medium’. This combination of vegetative and fruiting attributes results in ‘RIDLEY 1403’ being a desirable variety for mid season commercial production.
‘RIDLEY 1403’ can also be compared to the variety ‘CO3-158’ (unpatented). The plant growth habit of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘upright to semi-upright’ whereas the plant growth habit of ‘CO3-158’ is ‘semi-upright’. In Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia the time of vegetative bud burst of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is classified as ‘early to medium’ whereas the time of vegetative bud burst of ‘CO3-158’ is classified as ‘early’. The time of beginning of flowering of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is classified as ‘very early’ whereas the time of beginning of flowering of time of ‘CO3-158’ is classified as ‘early to medium’. The berry shape of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is round whereas the berry shape of ‘CO3-158’ is oblate. The berry diameter of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘very large (mean 24.0 mm) whereas the berry diameter of ‘CO3-158’ is ‘large’ (mean 18.5 mm).The berry calyx basin diameter of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘large’ (mean 8.1 mm) whereas the berry calyx basin diameter of ‘CO3-158’ is ‘medium to large’ (mean 7.2 mm). The depth of berry calyx basin of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘deep’ whereas the depth of berry calyx basin of ‘CO3-158’ is ‘shallow’. The berry acidity of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘medium to high’ whereas ‘CO3-158’ is ‘medium’. See Table 1 for comparisons
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘RIDLEY 1403’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Vaccinium hybrid plant:
-
- 1. Upright to semi-upright plant growth habit
- 2. Very early timing of beginning of flowering
- 3. Early-medium timing of fruit ripening
- 4. Strong plant growth vigor
- 5. Berry diameter is very large
- 6. Dark blue berry color
- 7. Berry firmness is medium
- 8. Berry sweetness is medium
- 9. Berry acidity is medium to high
- 10. Picking scar is dry
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the seed parent ‘S02-25-05’ in that the berry diameter of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘very large whereas the berry diameter of ‘S02-25-05’ is medium. Plant growth vigour of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘strong’ whereas the plant growth vigour of the seed parent is medium. Berry color is very dark whereas the seed parent berry color is medium dark. Plants of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ have an upright to semi-upright plant growth habit which is less bushy than plants of the seed parent which have a bushy semi-upright growth habit. Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the pollen parent ‘S03-08-02’ in that the berry diameter of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is ‘very large whereas the berry diameter of ‘S03-08-02’ is medium. Plants of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ have an upright to semi-upright plant growth habit which is less bushy than plants of the pollen parent which have a very bushy semi-upright growth habit. The berry sweetness of ‘RIDLEY 1403’ is rated as ‘high’ whereas the sweetness of the pollen parent is ‘medium’.
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘RIDLEY 1403’.
The following is a detailed botanical description of a new and distinct variety of a Vaccinium hybrid ornamental plant known as ‘RIDLEY 1403’. Plant observations were made on plants grown in Lindendale, New South Wales, Australia. Unless indicated otherwise, the descriptions disclosed herein are based upon observations made in August 2009 of mature ‘RIDLEY 1403’ plants (age 4 years) grown in outdoor field plantings with day temperature ranging from 21° C. to 23° C., night temperatures ranging from 10° C. to 12° C., and light levels ranging from 6 to 8 klux. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, younger plants. ‘RIDLEY 1403’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Where dimensions, sizes, colors and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable. The phenotype of the variety may vary with variations in the environment such as season, temperature, light quality, light intensity, day length, cultural conditions and the like. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 2007 edition.
