Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree (Prunus persica var. nucipersica) which has the following unique combination of features that are desirable in a new variety:
1. Fruit with sweet, mild, subacid flavor with excellent eating quality.
2. Regular and productive bearer of large size fruit.
3. Fruit with firm flesh and good handling and shipping quality.
4.Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color.
5. Fruit that will stay firm on the tree 12 to15 days after maturity (shipping ripe).
6. Vigorous, upright growth.
7. The ability to produce relatively uniform size fruit throughout the tree.
Description
Our new and distinct variety of nectarine tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a second generation selection from the cross of two selected seedlings with field identification numbers 36EB86 and 9GC175. The maternal parent (36EB86) originated from a second generation seedling that was selected from a cross between May Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794) and a peach of unknown parentage. The paternal parent (9GC175) originated from a second generation seedling of a cross between an open pollinated seedling of Early Sun Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,420) and Royal Gold Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,663). A large number of these second generation seedlings were planted and maintained under close and careful observation by us and one such seedling with especially desirable fruit characteristics as described above, which is the present variety, 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., which 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 new and distinct variety of nectarine tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth; and a productive and regular bearer of large size, yellow flesh, clingstone fruit having a mild, subacid, sweet taste with excellent flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by being relatively uniform in size throughout the tree, holding firm on the tree 12 to 15 days after maturity (shipping ripe), having firm flesh with good handling and shipping quality and having a high degree of attractive red skin color. In comparison to the Honey Kist Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,333), which it closely resembles, the new variety is approximately 7 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. J. Wanscher.
