Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is characterized by producing a semi clingstone fruit with a red blush coloration and is ripe for commercial marketing and shipment September 9-15 in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The new variety is clearly similar to the ‘August Red’ nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,363) from which it is a sport but from which it is distinguishable by fruit ripening 4 to 5 weeks after the fruit of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree and the fruit being somewhat larger in size than that of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree. The fruit of this instant variety has a very good flavor compared to the fruit of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which will hereinafter be denominated varietally as the ‘Larry's Red’ nectarine tree which produces semi clingstone fruit which can mature for commercial harvest and shipment approximately September 9th-15th, four to five weeks after the ‘August Red’ nectarine in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. This is a fresh market nectarine with a very good red blush in coloration and a larger fruit than the ‘August Red’.
In the development of new commercial variations of fruit trees, premium is frequently placed on those varieties that possess good size, skin color (blush), good flavor, good holding and shipping capabilities as well as a niche or specific time unique for this fruit. The nectarine tree of this invention appears to be a promising candidate and wide acceptance in the fresh market is anticipated.
The new variety was asexually reproduced by the inventor's representative in the dormant season of 1999-2000 by bud grafting on Nemaguard rootstock.
The ‘Larry's Red’ nectarine is characterized by producing a semi clingstone fruit with a good red blush coloration, ripe for commercial harvest and shipment approximately September 8 to 15. The new variety is closely similar to the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,363) of which it is a bud sport, but is distinguishable from it in that the fruit ripens four to five weeks later than the fruit of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree and the fruit is appreciably larger in size than that of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree as well as producing a very good flavor.
The accompanying drawing is a color photograph showing fruit of the new variety displaying a bottom view showing the apex and sutures thereof, a second view displaying the top with the stem cavity, a third view displaying a side view with the ventral surface thereof, a fourth view of the shape of the basal and apical ends of the fruit, a fifth view sectional to show the flesh, the pit cavity and the pit (stone), and the last view of the foliage of the new variety of nectarine tree.
Referring more specifically to the horticultural details of the new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, the following details have been observed under the ecological conditions prevailing at the orchard of origin which is located near Cutler, Calif. in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.
