Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nectarine tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof, broadly characterized by being a strong vigorous tree which bears very early, red mottled, firm clingstone to slightly freestone, fruit.
- the fruit of the subject variety most nearly resembles that of the Merrill Sunrise nectarine (Plant Patent No. 1,256) but is an improvement thereon in its ripening from three to ten days, average one week, earlier, with a brighter yellow under color and a brighter, more contrasting red over color and with fewer speckles.
- Another object was to provide a nectarine tree characterized by the production of brightly colored fruit which has good shipping and storage qualities.
- Another object was to provide a nectarine tree of the general type shown and described in Plant Patent No. 1,256 but which produces fruit which ripens earlier.
- a further object has been to produce a new nectarine variety characterized by moderate but consistent fruit set minimizing pruning and thinning requirements without being subject to irregular production.
- FIG. 1 is a water color painting of a pair of fruit bearing twigs having leaves and mature fruit thereon characteristic of the instant variety. The fruit on the left was grown in virtually full sun and the one on the right was grown where heavily shaded by leaves and thus shows yellow under color.
- FIG. 2 is a water color painting of a pit of the variety when dried.
- FIG. 3 is likewise a water color painting and shows a fruit sectioned on its suture plane to show certain cling characteristics but with evident partial freeing of the removed stone.
- This new variety of nectarine was produced by me on my farm near Red Bluff, Tehama County, California, as an open pollinated embryo cultured seedling of Merrill Sunrise (Plant Patent No. 1,256).
- the present variety was asexually propagated by budding onto a seedling tree in my virus isolation plot at Corning, Tehama County, California, in 1958. When this bud came into bearing in 1960, fruit and other characteristics of this nectarine proved to be identical to the original nectarine tree resulting from the cultured seedling.
- Shape Medium size, vigorous, medium upright, medium dense, vase shaped by usual pruning practices. Productive and a regular bearer.
- Trunk Medium size, medium shaggy, dull grey.
- Leaves selected from midportion of vigorous unbranched terminal shoots 12" to 18" long.
- Width.-l to 1 /2, average 1%.
- Class (Meader and Blake: Proceedings Am. Soc. Hor. 80., vol. 37, page 206).Class 2. Width.- length ratio, .20 to .30, average .254. Apex angle (1" from tip)32 to 50, average 40. Base angle /2 from petiole)--40 to 60, average 55.
- Flavor-Milk subacid, delicate.
- Ventral edge.--Thick without wing.
- a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its very early ripening fruit with brilliant red mottled skin coloring, its freeing from the stone when ripened oil of the tree, and its strong vigorous trees, and as compared with Merrill Sunrise nectarine (Plant Patent No. 1,256), being an improvement thereon by its fruit ripening about a week earlier and having a brighter skin color with fewer speckles.
