Abstract
The present invention relates to a nectarine tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in July, with first picking on Jul. 7, 1996. The fruit is uniformly large in size, subacidic in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, medium firm in texture, and nearly full red in skin color. The variety was a first generation cross using Summer Bright (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,049) yellow flesh nectarine as the selected seed parent and June Pearl (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,360) white flesh nectarine as the selected pollen parent.
Description
In a continuing effort to improve the quality of fresh market and shipping fruits, we, the inventors, typically hybridize a large number of nectarine and peach seedlings each year. The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, which has been denominated varietally as "July Pearl". The present variety was developed by us in 1992 in a cultivated area of our experimental orchard at Bradford Farms near Le Grand, Calif. in Merced County (San Joaquin Valley). It was a first generation cross using Summer Bright (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,049) yellow flesh nectarine as the seed parent and June Pearl (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,360) white flesh nectarine as the selected pollen parent. Subsequent to origination of the present variety of nectarine tree, we asexually reproduced it by budding and grafting, and such reproduction of plant and fruit characteristics were true to the original plant in all respects.
The fruit produced by the present variety is most similar to its pollen parent, the June Pearl (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,360) by producing white flesh clingstone nectarine that are sub-acidic in flavor, medium firm in texture, full red in skin color and virtually free from red texture bleeding, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing fruit that ripens about three week later, that is sweeter in flavor, that is larger in size, and that is less prone to protruding at the apex.
The present variety is similar to its seed parent, Summer Bright (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,049) by producing medium firm, full red clingstone nectarines, but is very distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is white flesh instead of yellow flesh, that ripens about about one week earlier, and that is subacidic in flavor instead of acidic.
The accompanying photograph exhibits three whole fruits positioned to display the characteristics of the skin color and form, one fruit divided transversely to the suture plane to reveal the flesh and stone, a stone, and typical leaves.
Referring now more specifically to the pomological characteristics of this new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, the following has been observed under the ecological conditions prevailing near Le Grand, Merced County (San Joaquin Valley), Calif., and was developed at the state of firm eating ripe on Jul. 12, 1996.
