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 in the harvest seasons and producesiirm, sali-freestone nectarines having a high content of soluble solids when firm ripe, with half to almost all of the skin colored a bright red.
- the subject variety most nearly resembles Merrill Sunrise nectarine (P.P. No. 1,256), but is an improvement thereover in its ripening three to ten days earlier with a brighter red skin color and with fewer russet-like speckles. On the average, it ripens about one week earlier than the Sunrise nectarine.
- a collateral object was to produce a new variety of nectarine tree characterized by moderate but consistent fruit set which minimized pruning and thinning requirement without being subject to irregular production.
- the upper portion shows a characteristic twig of the subject nectarine tree having leaves and a mature fruit thereon, the skin thereof having a heavy red blush over most of its surface, and the characteristic long shape of the fruit also being shown.
- the lower portion shows a characteristic fruit divided along its suture plane to illustrate the color of the flesh and the seed and to show the typically, partly free stone.
- the most distinctive characteristics in the instant variety of nectarine tree are its early ripening, its brilliant red skin coloring, its long shape and its high soluble solids content when firm ripe.
- 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 (RP. No. 1,256).
- the present variety was asexually propagated by budding onto a seedling tree in our virus isolation plot at Corning, Tehama County, California, in 1958. When this budded tree came into bearing in 1960, fruit and other characteristics of this nectarine proved to be identical with the original nectarine tree.
- Trunk Medium slender, medium shaggy, dull grey
- Width-1V4 to 1% average 1 Fofm-Lanceolute, tip acuminate.
- Flower buds Medium size, plump, free, pubescent. Flowers: Midseason to late bloom, approximately in season with Merrill Sunrise (Plant Patent No. 1,256). Large, showy, pink color.
