Nectaplum showing noticeable purple growth. A nectaplum (interspecific nectarine) is a tradename for varieties that are a hybrid of nectarines and plums developed by Floyd Zaiger. Both nectarine and plum traits are easily detectable. It sprouts from an ornamental tree which makes it popular for home gardening, but is not large in the commercial ...
Peacotums. A peacotum is a peach/apricot/plum hybrid developed by Zaiger's Genetics, Inc., a company that develops novel fruit through hybridization. [1] Peacotum is trademarked by Dave Wilson Nursery Inc. [2] An application to trademark the name nectacotum in the United States for varieties derived from nectarine-type peaches was made in 2004 but later abandoned.
Floyd Zaiger created the aprium, a hybrid cross between apricots and plums but more similar to apricots. [9] Apriums are complex plum-apricot hybrids that show primarily apricot traits and flavor. [2] Apriums resemble apricots on the outside. The flesh is usually dense and notable for its sweet taste due to a high content of fructose and other ...
Chris "Floyd" Zaiger (April 26, 1926 – June 2, 2020) was an American fruit breeder particularly known for hybrid development of stone fruit and numerous plant patents. Zaiger founded Zaiger's Genetics, a fruit-breeding business in Modesto, California , which is now an international business selling cultivars and hybrids. [ 1 ]
This is a list of genetic hybrids which is limited to well documented cases of animals of differing species able to create hybrid offspring which may or may not be infertile. Hybrids should not be confused with genetic chimeras , such as that between sheep and goat known as the geep .
An ornamental lily hybrid known as Lilium 'Citronella' [1] This is a list of plant hybrids created intentionally or by chance and exploited commercially in agriculture or horticulture . The hybridization event mechanism is documented where known, along with the authorities who described it.
Prunus persica × Prunus americana is the hybrid between the peach Prunus persica (often a nectarine) and the wild American plum Prunus americana.. Hybrids were obtained in the 1940s at the University of Minnesota, and have been used in subsequent breeding, such as in the parentage of a plum called 'Minnesota No. 31221'. [1]
Hybrid fruits are created through the controlled speciation of fruits that creates new varieties and cross-breeds. Hybrids are grown using plant propagation to create new cultivars . This may introduce an entirely new type of fruit or improve the properties of an existing fruit.
