Abstract
A new cultivar of nectarine tree (Prunus persica L. Batsch) named ‘Mesembrine’ is disclosed. The fruit of ‘Mesembrine’ is notable for its broad oblate shape and sub-acid flavor.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Prunus persica L. Batsch.
Variety denomination: ‘Mesembrine’.
The new nectarine tree ‘Mesembrine’ originated as a seedling resulting from a controlled cross of ‘Jalousia’בSummergrand’ (seed parent, not patented) and ‘Fantasia’ (pollen parent, not patented). Originally bred and tested by the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) in France, ‘Mesembrine’ has been asexually propagated by grafting in France and in Parker, Wash., USA, and has been observed to remain true to type over successive asexually propagated generations.
‘Mesembrine’ was selected for its broad oblate shape and pleasant sub-acid flavor. While similar in many respects to ‘S 6816’ (plant patent pending), the fruit of ‘Mesembrine’ matures one to two weeks later. It has also been observed that the leaves of ‘Mesembrine’ are longer than those of ‘S 6816.’
The following detailed botanical description is based on observations of four year old trees made during the 2004 growing season at Parker, Wash. The test trees were grown on ‘Lovell’ (unpatented) rootstock. All colors are described according to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. It should be understood that the characteristics described will vary somewhat depending upon cultural practices and climatic conditions and can vary with location and season. Quantified measurements are expressed as an average of measurements taken from a number of individual plants of the new variety. The measurements of any individual plant, or any group of plants, of the new variety may vary from the stated average.
