Definitions
- Prunus persica var. nucipersica Latin name of the genus and species: Prunus persica var. nucipersica.
- This invention relates to the discovery and asexual propagation of a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, Prunus persica var. nucipersica, cv. ‘Sunectwentyone.’
- the new variety was first hybridized and selected as ‘97014-048-085’ by David Cain.
- the new variety was first selected and evaluated by David Cain and Terry Bacon near Mecca, Calif. in Riverside County during April, 1999.
- the new variety ‘Sunectwentyone’ is characterized by having heavy production of relatively large (66 mm), very firm fruit.
- the bright red fruit has bright yellow flesh that is moderately juicy, very firm, and tart-sweet with approximately 12 brix.
- ‘Sunectwentyone’ has a relatively low chilling requirement of 250 hours at or below 7.2° C.
- the new variety has a relatively low tendency for split-pits, russeting, and thrips damage.
- the fruit is typically harvested about May 8-15 in Kern County, Calif., with the harvest starting about 4 days after the harvest date of ‘April Glo’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,305) nectarine variety.
- the seed parent of the new variety is ‘94-051N’ (unpatented) which was selected from a progeny of a cross between two breeding selections; an unknown low-chill nectarine crossed with pollen of ‘FLA85-1’ peach (unpatented).
- the pollen parent is ‘94-025N’ (unpatented) that was selected from a progeny of a cross between two low-chill breeding selections; ‘FLA88-16N’ nectarine (unpatented) crossed with pollen of ‘FLA9-20C’ peach (unpatented).
- the parent varieties were first crossed in 1997 with the date of planting of January 1998 and the date of first flowering being January 1999.
- the new nectarine variety ‘Sunectwentyone’ was first asexually propagated by David Cain near Wasco, Kern County, Calif. in 1999 by budding onto ‘Flordaguard’ (unpatented) rootstock.
- the new variety ‘Sunectwentyone’ has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
- the new variety ‘Sunectwentyone’ is distinguished from its seed parent, ‘94-051N’ in that ‘Sunectwentyone’ ripens approximately 5 days later than ‘94-051N.’ Further, the fruit of the new variety is larger than the fruit of ‘94-051N’ (66 mm compared to 64 mm).
- the new variety ‘Sunectwentyone’ is distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘94-025N’ in that ‘Sunectwentyone’ ripens approximately 14 days earlier than ‘94-025N.’
- the new nectarine variety ‘Sunectwentyone’ can be distinguished from presently available cultivars in commerce by the following combination of characteristics: the new ‘Sunectwentyone’ most nearly resembles ‘April Glo’ nectarine in ripening time, but ‘Sunectwentyone’ begins harvest about 4 days later and has larger fruit (66 mm compared to 58 mm for ‘April Glo’).
- FIG. 1 shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the new nectarine variety ‘Sunectwentyone.’
- the illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a fruit divided across 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 new variety ‘Sunectwentyone’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions.
- the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
