[0004]‘C4-15-19’ produces a ‘Clementine’-sized, seedless, peelable tangerine-type fruit with high sugar content and a very sweet flavor. Fruit matures between October and November in Lake Alfred, Fla. (USDA Zone 9), depending on environmental factors. Fruit pigments well under typical Florida weather conditions (without cold-induction), both internally and externally. Fruit of ‘C4-15-19’ should be clipped to avoid plugging, particularly with fruit harvested during the latter part of the harvest season. Initiation of peel removal is easy, and the top half of the fruit is generally much easier to peel than the bottom half. Peelability of ‘C4-15-19’ seems to improve during storage. The rind contains large oil glands, and pleasantly fragrant oil can be

Abstract

An interploid cross (conventional breeding) of Sugar Belle® (patented as ‘LB8-9’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,356) mandarin hybrid with a somatic hybrid of [‘Nova’ mandarin hybrid+‘Succari’ sweet orange], followed by embryo rescue, led to the recovery of the seedless triploid hybrid known as ‘C4-15-19’. Trees of ‘C4-15-19’ are productive, producing an attractive peelable tangerine fruit with robust sweet flavor, maturing in October/November under Florida conditions. Fruit size is small-to-medium, and quite uniform.

Description

[0001]Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Citrus reticulata. [0002]Variety denomination: ‘C4-15-19’.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of mandarin tree named ‘C4-15-19’. ‘C4-15-19’ is a triploid hybrid from an interploid cross of diploid monoembryonic ‘Sugar Belle’®, patented as ‘LB8-9’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,356) tangelo (female parent) crossed with an allotetraploid somatic hybrid of ‘Nova’ mandarin hybrid (unpatented, Clementine×Orlando)+‘Succari’ sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) (male parent, unpatented), obtained via embryo rescue. Two original trees exist in Lake Alfred, Fla., one of which is grafted to ‘Carrizo’ (unpatented) citrus rootstock, and the other of which is grafted to a somatic hybrid of sour orange+‘Flying Dragon’ (unpatented). ‘C4-15-19’ was first asexually reproduced in Lake Alfred, Fla. Trueness-to-type through asexual propagation was demonstrated by topworking (grafting) o...
