Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nectarine tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by bearing finely flavored, very highly colored, yellow-fleshed nectarines, which cling to the pits, except when ripened off the tree when there is some tendency toward freeing from the pit, and ripening verly early, and with a vigorous and productive tree.
- the nectarine trees tend to produce rank growth and dense shade resulting in serious impairment of the coloring of the fruit. Inasmuch as most fruits rely on eye appeal for their sales, color impairment is highly undesirable.
- a primary object of the plant breeding procedures which have resulted in the development of this new nectarine variety has been to achieve a highly colored red nectarine which maintains its color and firmness even under conditions of rank growth and dense shade.
- Another object has been to provide an improved early ripening nectarine tree.
- Another object has been to provide a nectarine tree somewhat similar to the Merrill Sunrise (Plant Patent No. 1,256) but productive of fruit of brighter red color and of improved flavor.
- FIG. 1 shows a characteristic fruit bearing twig of the subject nectarine tree showing leaves and mature fruit thereon.
- FIG. 2 shows a characteristic fruit of the present variety divided on its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and flesh partially freed from the stone.
- FIG. 3 shows a characteristic stone colored as it appears after drying.
- the instant variety most nearly resembles Merrill Sunrise nectarine (Plant Patent No. 1,256) of the known varieties, but is an improvement thereon in that the skin is a more brilliant red with fewer speckles and does not have the brownish-red of the Merrill Sunrise. It is also somewhat sweeter and better flavored, and is a little more free from the pit when ripened off the tree.
- the new variety of nectarine tree was produced by me on my breeding farm near Red Bluff, Tehama County, California, from embryo cultured seeds of open pollinated blossoms of Merrill Sunrise nectarine (Plant Patent No. 1,256). I have asexually propagated it on my virus isolation plot at Corning, T ehama County, California, by budding scions of the new variety into host trees. The resulting trees were cared for and when they came into bearing were found to possess the same tree and fruit characteristics as the original tree from which the scions were taken.
- Trunk Medium stock, medium shaggy, brownish grey color. Lenticels-numerous large. Leaves (selected from midportion of vigorous unbranched terminal shoot 18" to 24 long):
- Cavity.-Rounded suture showing on both sides.
- Color.--Undercolor generally reddish-orange (3- A-12) with some yellow green (17-L-3) near the stem end. Spotted and striped with red (4-L-7) to (5K-11). Dark red (4-L-6) to (7-L-8) when exposed to sun.
- Flesh Colon-From light golden yellow (9-L2) to orange-yellow (9-L-6) and deepening on the side most exposed to the sun to reddish-orange (9-A- 10).
- Fibcrs.-Short. I Size.-Length, 1 /8" to 1%"; breadth, to 1%;
- a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by a vigorous and productive tree having highly colored, early ripening fruit, with finely flavored yellow flesh that trees from the stone when ripened off the tree and which ripens with the Merrill Sunrise nectarine (Plant Patent No. 1,256), the variety to which it is the most similar but which is an improvement thereof in having skin of brighter red color and fewer speckles, and flesh which is sweeter, better flavored and somewhat more free from the pit when ripened off the tree.
