Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree (Prunus persica var. nucipersica) which has the following unique combination of desirable features:
1. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit.
2. Fruit with an attractive red skin color.
3. Early maturity of the fruit.
4. Fruit with good storage and shipping quality.
5. Vigorous, semi-upright growth.
6. Relatively uniform size fruit throughout the tree.
7. Fruit holding firm on the tree for approximately 7 to 10 days after maturity (shipping ripe).
8. Fruit with very good flavor and eating quality.
Description
The present new variety of nectarine tree was developed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a second generation selection from the cross of a selected seedling with field identification number 46G24 with May Crest Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4064). The maternal parent (46G24) originated from an open pollinated May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2794) seedling. A large group of the second generation seedlings were planted, grown and maintained under close and careful observation by us. One seedling, which is the present variety, having especially desirable fruit characteristics, was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of nectarine tree was by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all characteristics of the tree and its fruit run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
The present new variety of nectarine tree is of large size, vigorous, semi-upright growth and a productive and regular bearer of large, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit with attractive red skin color, and having very good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having very firm flesh, good handling and shipping quality, holding firm on the tree 7 to 10 days after shipping ripe, being relatively uniform in size at maturity and, in comparison to the May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2794), the new variety has greater production of larger size fruit, has less split pits and is approximately 3 to 4 days earlier in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new nectarine variety. The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a fruit divided in its suture plane to show flesh color, pit cavity and the stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked (shipping ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new variety of nectarine tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observations of specimens grown near Modesto Calif., with color terminology. (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
