Abstract
A nectarine tree which is large, vigorous, upright to spreading, foliated with large to medium size, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a glandular, crenate margin, and a regular and very productive bearer of large, uniform, symmetrical, globose to oblong, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, yellow flesh, and a stone with a sweet kernel.
Description
Over a substantial number of years I have engaged in an extensive and continuing plant breeding program at my experimental nursery and orchard located near Le Grand, Merced County, Calif.; one purpose of such program being to provide improved varieties of fruit trees. The present variety of nectarine tree resulted from my endeavors in the conduct of such plant breeding program.
The present variety of nectarine tree was originated by me, in my experimental nursery and orchard located as aforesaid, as an F1 cross of the Red Diamond nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) as the seed parent and the Early Sun Grand nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,420) as the pollen parent.
Subsequent to origination and selection by me of the present variety of nectarine tree, in the manner above described, I asexually reproduced it by top-working on mature trees in my said experimental orchard, and -- in maturity -- such reproductions ran true to the original tree in all respects.
The herein claimed new and distinct variety of nectarine tree is large, vigorous, upright to spreading, foliated with large to medium size, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a glandular, crenate margin, and a regular and very productive bearer of large, uniform, symmetrical, globose to oblong, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, yellow flesh, and a stone with a sweet kernel; the fruit being quite similar to that of the Red Diamond nectarine including comparable shipping quality and hence is adapted for long distance marketing, but ripens about two weeks later whereby the marketing season for such type of fruit is desirably extended.
The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of leaves and fruit of the variety; one of the fruit being cut into halves to expose the flesh, with the stone remaining in one such half.
