Abstract
‘Harlayne’ is an exceptionally cold-hardy, productive, late season apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) suitable for the fresh market and for processing. The trees are vigorous, hardy, productive, and tolerant to perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.). The fruits are resistant to bacterial spot (Xanthomonas pruni (E. F. Sm.) Dows.) and brown rot (Monilinia fructicola [Wint.] Honey) but moderately susceptible to skin cracking if subject to heavy rains near harvest maturity. ‘Harlayne’ ripens 8 days after ‘Veecot’ and 4 days after ‘Harogem’ in the late season. It is a good dual purpose type being well-suited for the fresh market, home canning and appears suitable for commercial processing. The fruits will keep for about a week at room temperature and 2 to 3 weeks in a refrigerated storage. ‘Harlayne’ will extend the apricot season in Southwestern Ontario by about one week.
Abstract
‘Hargrand’ is an exceptionally large, firm-fleshed apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) suitable for the fresh market, home canning and commercial processing, especially as puree for baby food. The tree is cold hardy and productive and tolerant to perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.). The fruits are moderately resistant to brown rot (Moniliniafructicola [Wint.] Honey), bacterial spot (Xanthomonaspruni [E. F. Sm.] Dows.) and skin cracking. ‘Hargrand’ ripens in the midseason with ‘Veecot’ and is being introduced for the Ontario fresh market to meet the need for better dual purpose cultivars in this season. It should be adapted to regions where ‘Goldcot’ and ‘Veecot’ are successfully grown.
Abstract
‘Harcot’ is an attractive, early season, high quality apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) with adequate cold hardiness and resistance to bacterial spot [Xantho-monas pruni (E.F.Sm.) Dows.], brown rot [Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) Honey], and perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.). It was introduced in 1977 to meet the need in Ontario for a better adapted, cold hardy and disease resistant cultivar for the fresh market.
Abstract
‘Harogem’ is an exceptionally attractive, very firm, high quality, mid- to late season apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) suitable for the fresh market. It is cold hardy, resistant to brown rot [Monilia fructicola (Wint.) Honey], perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.), and skin cracking but moderately susceptible to bacterial spot [Xan-thomonas pruni (E. F. Sm.) Dows]. It was introduced in 1979 to meet the need for a better adapted, more consistently productive, cold hardy and disease tolerant cultivar for the Ontario fresh market.
Abstract
‘Harland’ is an attractive, highly colored, yellow-fleshed peach, (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch), suitable for the early fresh market that matures with ‘Harbinger’ about 1 month before ‘Red-haven’. ‘Harland’ performed well in New Zealand and is introduced at the request of New Zealand pomologists and fruit growers but is not recommended for culture in Ontario because performance has been inferior to that of ‘Harbinger’. The name ‘Harland’ was chosen to denote Harrow as its place of origin and New Zealand as the intended country for its culture.
Abstract
‘Harrrow Diamond’ is an attractive, cold-hardy, productive, peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] that ripens 1 day before ‘Candor’ and ‘Earlired’ and is being introduced for the early fresh market. The name was chosen to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Harrow Research Station. ‘Harrow Diamond’ has performed better than ‘Candor’ or ‘Earlired’ at Harrow. It is more cold-hardy, productive, vigorous and resistant to perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.) than ‘Candor’, and is more productive and substantially more resistant to split pits than ‘Earlired’. It is more resistant to flesh browning than ‘Candor’ or ‘Earlired’.
Abstract
‘Harrow Beauty’ is a very attractive, medium-sized, firm-fleshed, cold hardy, freestone peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] that ripens between ‘Canadian Harmony’ and ‘Loring’. It was introduced in 1983 for the Ontario fresh market as a possible replacement for ‘Loring’ which is marginally adapted to all but the best peach sites in Ontario. The tree is of medium vigor, cold hardy, productive, and appears to have moderate field tolerance to perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.). The fruit seem resistant to bacterial spot [Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni (Smith) Young et at.], brown rot [Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) Honey], split pits, preharvest drop, and flesh oxidation. The fruit are well suited for the fresh market including local sales and shipping. ‘Harrow Beauty’ is performing well in regional trials in Ontario and is adapted to regions where ‘Redhaven’ is successfully grown.
Abstract
‘Harcrest’ is a cold hardy, productive, attractive, firm-fleshed freestone peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] that ripens 2-3 days after ‘Cresthaven’ and ‘Redskin’ in the late season. It was introduced in 1983 for the Ontario fresh market to extend the ‘Cresthaven’ and ‘Redskin’ season with a similar type of peach and is considered a potential replacement for ‘Redskin’. The tree is vigorous and appears to have moderate field tolerance to perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.). Leaves and fruit are moderately resistant to bacterial spot [Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni (Smith) Young et al.] while flowers and fruit are resistant to brown rot [Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) Honey]. Fruit are resistant to split pits but subject to preharvest drop if hot, dry conditions prevail just before harvest. The yellow flesh does not brown readily on exposure to air. ‘Harcrest’ is well suited for the fresh market including local sales and shipping and is suitable for preservation at home by canning or freezing. ‘Harcrest’ is performing well in regional trials in Ontario, and is adapted to regions where ‘Redhaven’ is successfully grown.
Abstract
‘Harson’ is an attractive, high-quality, yellow-fleshed, freestone peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] that ripens in the midseason 2 days before ‘Redhaven’. It was introduced in 1982 for the Ontario fresh market to advance the season of ‘Redhaven’-type peaches by 2 days and reduce the gap in harvest sequence between ‘Sunhaven’ and ‘Redhaven’. The tree is of medium vigor, cold hardy, productive, and appears to have moderate field tolerance to perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.). The fruit appear to be resistant to bacterial spot [Xanthomonas pruni (E. F. Sm.) Dows.], brown rot [Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) Honey], split pits, preharvest drop, and flesh oxidation. They are wellsuited for the fresh market, including local sales and shipping, and for preservation at home, especially as canned halves and frozen slices. Research and grower cooperators in southern Ontario and near Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia report that ‘Harson’ is performing well in their trials compared with other midseason cultivars and encouraged its introduction. This new cultivar is likely to be adapted to most regions where ‘Redhaven’ is grown successfully. The name ‘Harson’ honors T.B. Harrison for his many years of service to the Western Ontario Fruit Testing Association and the fruit industry of Ontario.
Abstract
‘Harglow’ is an attractive, high-quality, medium-sized apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) introduced in 1982 for the Ontario fresh market but also suitable for commercial processing and for home preserves. The tree is cold-hardy, late-blooming, moderately productive, and tolerant to perennial canker (Leucostoma spp.). The fruit are resistant to brown rot [Moniliniafructicola (Wint.) Honey] and bacterial spot [Xanthomonas pruni (E.F. Sm.) Dows.], and moderately resistant to skin cracking and preharvest drop. They ripen in the midseason; 6 and 3 days, respectively, after ‘Goldcot’ and ‘Veecot’ and about 3 Aug. at Harrow. ‘Harglow’ is adapted to regions of southern Ontario where apricots are grown successfully. Early reports of its performance in Michigan and Pennsylvania are promising.
