Abstract
A new and distinct nectarine variety possessing a relatively low chilling requirement is provided. The fruit of the new variety is early maturing and unlike most low chilling nectarine varieties has a higher level of red skin coloration, and excellent commercial qualities such as firmness and the ability to withstand handling and shipping. The new variety originated as a second generation cross of the Red Grand nectarine variety U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060) and the Desert Gold peach variety (non-patented). The new variety of the present invention is particularly suited for growing in the United States in zone 9 and the northern tip of zone 10.
Description
The new and distinct variety originated at my experimental orchard at Modesto, Calif. In 1973 seed capable of forming the new variety was planted. This seed was the result of a second generation cross of the Red Grand nectarine variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060) and the Desert Gold peach variety (non-patented). More specifically, following the initial controlled cross-pollination, the resulting progeny were allowed to self-pollinate. It was the seed resulting from this self-pollination which was planted.
During 1976 the present variety was selected because of its destinctive characteristics and was initially designated 44G1235. My continued observation of this selection has convinced me that it is a new and distinct variety.
The new variety of the present invention possesses a combination of characteristics which render it particularly suited for the commercial production of quality fruit in many mild southern regions of the United States. The low chilling requirement of the fruit is combined with excellent commercial qualities. More specifically, the new variety may be grown to particular advantage in the United States in zone 9 and in the upper tip of zone 10. The fruit often ripens in early May when grown in such area.
The nectarine tree of the new variety is
(a) large, vigorous and upright,
(b) possesses a relatively low chilling requirement, and
(c) is a productive bearer of good quality, early maturing, medium to large fruit having a high level of red skin coloration and a firm yellow flesh which possesses good eating and shipping qualities.
Asexual propagation at Modesto, Calif. by budding as early as 1976 and subsequent testing by me has demonstrated that the unique combination of characteristics of the new variety comes true to form and is established and transmitted through succeeding propagation. All specimens described herein were grown at Modesto, Calif.
The new nectarine variety has been named the Zaipride cultivar and is being marketed by Stark Brothers Nurseries and Orchards Company under the STARK and GULF PRIDE trademarks.
The accompanying photograph shows typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of the new nectarine variety in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
The following is a detailed description of the new variety where color terminology is to be accorded its ordinary dictionary significance except where otherwise indicated. The specimens described were grown at Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif. 95351.
Representative dates of first and last pickings at Modesto, Calif. are June 15, 1980 and June 20, 1980. It should be understood, however, that when grown in a milder climate such as zone 9 of the United States, the variety of the present inventor will ripen in May.
