NECTARINE TREEFiled Sept. 30, 1971 United States Patent M 3,328 NECTARINE TREE Frederic W. Anderson, Merced, Calif., assignor t0 Reedley Nursery, Inc Reedley, Calif. Filed Sept. 30, 1971, Ser. No. 185,456 Int. Cl. A01h 5/03 US. Cl.
Plt.4l 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREA nectarine tree, of medium size, which is vigorous, spreading, open, and very productive of large to medium size, globose to oblong, uniform, symmetrical, freestone fruit having yellow skin completely overspread with red at maturity, and yellow flesh with red at the surface of the pit cavity streaked into the flesh; the fruit being slightly larger, having a brighter red exterior color, and ripening about ten days later, than the fruit of the Sun Grand nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 974).
the present variety of nectarine treewas originated by me, in my experimental nursery and orchard, located as aforesaid, as an F cross between the Red Grand nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 1,060) and the Early Sun Grand nectarine (United States Plant Patent No. 1,420). Seedlings resulting from such cross were maintained by me under careful and continuing observation, and, in maturity, one such seedlingand which is the present varietyevidenced certain novel characteristics. I, therefore, selected such one seedling for asexual reproduction in anticipation of ultimate commercial growing of the variety.
the herein claimed variety of nectarine treeis, characteristically, of medium size, vigorous, spreading, open, and very productive of large to medium size, globose to oblong, uniform, symmetrical, freestone fruit having yellow skin completely overspread with red at maturity, and yellow flesh with red at the surface of the pit cavity streaked into the flesh; such fruit, in comparison to the fruit of the Sun Grand nectarine, being slightly larger, having a brighter red exterior color, and ripening about ten days later, thus extending the shipping period for this type of nectarine.
the nectarine tree and its fruit herein describedmay 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 in the Central Valley of California.
a new and distinct variety of nectarine treesubstantially as illustrated and described, of medium size, vigorous, spreading, open, and very productive of large to medium size, globose to oblong, uniform, symmetrical, free stone fruit having yellow skin completely overspread with red at maturity, and yellow flesh with red at the surface of the pit cavity streaked into the flesh; such fruit, in comparison to the fruit of the Sun Grand nectarine, being slightly larger, having a brighter red exterior color, and ripening about ten days later.
