- NEGTARINE TREE Filed Feb. 21, 1966 INVENTOR David B. Low/"y United States Patent 2,776 NECTARIN E TREE David B. Lowry, PA). Box 464, Medford, Oreg. 97501 Filed Feb. 21, 1966, Ser. No. 529,162 1 Claim. (Cl. Plt.--41)
- This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is a regular and productive bearer of medium size, yellow flesh, freestone fruit having orange-yellow skin substantially overspread with red. The fruit harvests in mid-season and is of especially desirable commercial quality.
- the fruit of the present variety which is bright in color and uniform in appearance is distinctively characterized by quite firm fiesh when fully ripe; this resulting in superior shipping quality and assuring of a longer shelf life.
- the fruit is further characterized by thin skin which is extremely smooth and highly waxed, both tending to prevent the occurrence of brown rot and decay; a yellow ground color which shades more to orange and is overspread with a more diffused red having distinct spotting; a seed which is smaller in size so that there is more flesh and less waste; and a mild flavor which is less acid and not as sweet, but distinctive and pleasant.
- the fruit of the present variety is exceptionally free of common growth defects such as skin cracks, split pits, and doubles.
- the present variety withstands relatively low temperatures or frost; the tree having been undamaged by 0 F. while the blossoms have withstood 27 F.
- the tree of the present variety is open and spreading; being characterized by fruiting branches which are less rigid and not as upright as those of the Sun Grand.
- I originated the herein claimed variety of nectarine tree on an orchard located near Talent, Oreg.; the variety being a first generation cross between the Fireglobe (unpatented) and the Sun Grand nectarines as the seed and pollen parents, respectively. Seed from such cross was planted, and the resultant seedlings were brought into bearing under continuing and careful observation.
- One such seedling-and which is the instant variety was recognized by me as being of exceptional merit and hence I selected it for propagation.
- the drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves and fruit; a separate fruit being shown as cut in half to expose the flesh and with the stone remaining in one half.
- Blooming period -Average date of first bloorn April 1st. Average date of full bloom-April 10th; medium, as compared with other varieties.
- the nectarine tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown; the present description being of the variety as grown near Talent, Oreg.
- a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described, essentially characterized-particularly in comparison to the Sun Grand-by the regular and productive bearing of uniform, medium size, freestone fruit having yellow flesh quite firm when fully ripe; thin, smooth, highly waxed skin of yellow ground color shading more to orange and substantially overspread with a diffused red having distinct spotting; a smaller seed; and a mild flavor which is less acid and not as sweet.
