Apricot tree--Earli Sun cultivar

摘要

A new and distinct variety of apricot tree is provided which originated as a single bud sport or limb mutation of the `Castlebrite` cultivar (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar has been named `Earli Sun`, and can be distinguished by its freestone fruits which are substantially similar in color and appearance to those of `Castlebrite` cultivar, yet are significantly larger in size, being ripening approximately two days later than those of the `Castlebrite` cultivar, and are markedly lower in the acidity of the flesh at harvest.
