Narrative
Reintroduction of RRUT 337. According to the donor (documentation received with budwood), the original tree at Concordia is 65 years old on trifoliate and was affected witth CEVd and other viroids. The budwood sent to NCGRCD was "taken from a mother tree growing under greenhouse conditions. The original tree was shoot-tip grafted, indexed and found free of citrus tristeza virus (CTV), exocortis (CEV), cachexia-xiloporosis, psorosis, citrus vareigated chlorosis (CVC) and citrus canker."

According to Hodgson (1967), this selection differs from standard 'Valencia' "in that the fruit is more oblong or oval in form, less seedy (occasionally one or two seeds), and matures earlier (mate midseason). The tree is vigorous and upright with large leaves that tend to be bunched, giving it a distinctive appearance, and is strongly alternate bearing." According to the donor (documentation received with budwood), this selection has "Good fruit quality. Excellent color and juice. Seedless fruit."

This selection of 'Valencia seedless' was imported since there is some question as to the trueness of the existing accession of 'Seedless Valencia' (CRC 2776/PI 539657). This statement is anectdotal, apparently dating from the 1960s. Since the Argentinian accession was received in 1940, if there was some mixup in Riverside, the imported accession should represent the original genotype/phenotype. This needs to be verified after quarantine release. (RR Krueger, 01/03/2009)
