Abstract

A new and distinct mandarin cultivar which originated from seed produced by a hand pollinated cross of OSC 1466 (non-patented)×ORUS 1117-11 (non-patented) is provided. It is distinguished by production of fruit that combines early season maturity, large fruit size, smooth rind texture with deep orange color, and a rich sweet flavor. It further distinguishes itself by being very low seeded and relatively easy to peel.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: The mandarin cultivar of this invention is botanically identified as Citrus reticulate.
Variety denomination: The variety denomination is ‘US Early Pride’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is to a new and distinct variety of mandarin orange tree which is named ‘US Early Pride’. ‘US Early Pride’ is a mandarin selection developed by the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service at Groveland, Fla. from an irradiated bud of the diploid mandarin cultivar ‘Fallglo’, an early season maturing variety. The pedigree of ‘Fallglo’ is ‘Bower’ by ‘Temple’.
‘US Early Pride’ originated as a single plant and was asexually reproduced by grafting budwood onto rootstocks. ‘US Early Pride’ was selected and propagated as follows. Irradiation of budwood from ‘Fallglo’ trees was accomplished in 1991 using 3 k RAD units of gamma irradiation from a Cobalt-60 irradiation source. Buds from this irradiation were propagated onto rootstocks in the greenhouse at the A.H. Whitmore Citrus Research Foundation Farm in Lake Co., Fla. where the trees were grown to field-plantable sized trees. These trees were planted in 1992 at the A.H. Whitmore farm. Fruit on the trees were evaluated in 1995 and two trees producing seedless fruit were identified. One of the trees (evaluated as 1-62-122, ‘US Early pride’) preformed better than the other and was selected for further evaluation. Buds were taken in 1996 and trees were propagated onto four rootstocks: Swingle, Cleopatra mandarin, sour orange and sun chu sha. Twenty trees were planted at the A.H. WHITMORE farm in 1997. Fruit production on these trees commenced in 2000. Additional propagations of ‘US EARLY PRIDE’ were maintained in the greenhouse at the A.H. WHITMORE farm.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
All major color code designations are made with reference to The Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart designations.
The present invention provides a novel mandarin variety having the characteristics described and illustrated herein. The variety, ‘US EARLY PRIDE’, is a mandarin selection developed at the USDA in Lake Co., Fla. from an irradiated bud of the diploid mandarin cultivar ‘Fallglo’, an early season maturing variety. ‘US EARLY PRIDE’ combines early season maturity, moderately sized fruit, pebbled rind texture with a deep orange color, and a rich sweet flavor similar to ‘Fallglo’. It further distinguishes itself by being very low seeded (<1 seed/fruit) and relatively easy to peel.
Early maturing mandarin cultivars in production include ‘Fallglo’ (the original cultivar from which ‘US EARLY PRIDE’ was derived). ‘Fallglo’ is seedy (approximately 20-40 seeds/fruit). We are not aware of other early season mandarins that are low seeded.

FIG. 2 illustrates fruit of ‘US Early Pride’ sampled from a 14-year-old tree at Lake Co., Fla. in 2008.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Evaluation of ‘US Early Pride’ began on the original tree at A.H. WHITMORE farm in 1995. Tree size, growth and fruit production characteristics and fruit quality characteristics have been compared to ‘Fallglo’ from the same location. ‘US Early Pride’ trees have also been evaluated for two years at the USDA farm in St. Lucie Co., Fla.
Tree size and growth characteristics of ‘US Early Pride’ have been consistent with ‘Fallglo’ throughout the evaluation. Growth of both ‘Fallglo’ and the ‘US Early Pride’ selection has generally been upright in the first five years followed by a tendency to grow into spherical shape in ensuing years. The 14 year-old ‘US Early Pride’ tree at the A.H. Whitmore farm averaged approximately 3.7 m tall and approximately 4.1 m wide with normal upright growth habit yielding a canopy volume of approximately 32.7 m3. In comparison 14 year-old ‘Fallglo’ tree have averaged 3.4 m tall and 3.0 m wide.
Scion circumference for ‘US Early Pride’ on rootstock was approximately 55 cm with the rootstock circumference approximately 76 cm. Scion circumference for 14 year-old ‘Fallglo’ trees averaged 51 cm.
‘US Early Pride’ distinguishes itself by being very low seeded (<1 seed per fruit) in all situations of cross-pollination, differing from ‘Fallglo’ which will set as many as about 40 seeds in cross-pollinated situations. In Lake Co., Fla. ‘US Early Pride’ fruit matures in the fall (October). ‘US Early Pride’ holds its fruit quality characteristics through November. Fruit size is large, approximately 58 mm in height×approximately 68 mm width) averaging approximately 145 grams per fruit. Fruit are oblate in shape with a deep orange rind color, RHS 22A and a smooth rind texture. Flesh color is deep orange (RHS N25B) and finely textured. Fruit are juicy, with a rich sweet flavor when mature. The fruit are relatively easy to peel. Tree growth habit is upright with production commencing in the second year after planting. Alternate bearing does not appear to be a problem. ‘US Early Pride’ was known throughout experimental evaluations as 1-62-122. The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) color numbering system is used herein for the color description of the rind, seed bark, leaf, flower, flesh color and other interest of the ‘US Early Pride’ tree.
Leaves of ‘US Early Pride’ are ovate in shape and convex in cross section, with an acuminate apex with slight serration and a cuneate base and are dark green in color, leaf abaxial color is RHS 137C (Green) and Leaf adaxial color is RHS 137 B (Green) (Table 2). Petioles are short and normal lacking wings. The selection is thornless. Flowers of ‘US Early Pride’ are hermaphroditic with white petals and yellow anthers and are borne in clusters. In Lake Co. Fla. buds form in late-January. Flowering occurs late February through early-April. Flowers have a medium fragrance. Pollen viability for ‘US Early Pride’ is very low (<10% germination). Pollen grains are smaller (18-20 microns) in comparison to ‘Fallglo’ (ca. 90% germination, pollen grains ca. 50 microns in diameter).
Fruit of ‘US Early Pride’ are oblate with no neck (Table 1). The fruit has the tendency to produce a navel at the blossom end. The fruit is large for a mandarin averaging 68 mm in diameter and 58 mm in height with a smooth, strong orangeish yellow rind color (RHS 22A) and relatively conspicuous, slightly raised oil glands (Table 4). The rind in somewhat adherent (relatively easy to peel) at maturity and relatively thin averaging approximately 2.7 mm in thickness. The fruit interior has a fine flesh texture with 11-13 segments and a hollow axis of medium size at maturity. The fruit are juicy averaging slightly over 55% juice and average 145 g in weight. The soluble solids, acids and solids/acid ratio for ‘US Early Pride’ is shown in Table 3.
