Abstract
The present invention relates to a clingstone nectarine tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, very productive and regular bearing tree, the fruit of which ripens approximately the last week of August. The variety has a more exceptional red blush skin coloring at picking time than most other late varieties and is of outstanding firmness. This extreme firmness allows for an extended harvest period with more opportunity for the grower to consider market developments before picking. The variety was developed from a second generation seedling of a cross of Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) seed parent by Autumn Free (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,976) pollen parent. The original seedling was transplanted in 1981 and has been asexually reproduced by budding and grafting, and such reproduction of plant and fruit characteristics were true to the original plant in all respects.
Description
The present variety of nectarine tree was produced by us at Bradford Farms in Merced County (San Joaquin Valley), Calif., as the result of a seedling of an open pollinated unnamed seedling. This unnamed seedling originated from the selected seed parent, Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165), being crossed by the selected pollen parent, Autumn Free (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,976). Subsequent to origination of the present variety of nectarine tree, we asexually reproduced it by budding and grafting, and such reproduction of plant and fruit characteristics were true to the original plant in all respects.
The present variety most nearly resembles Autumn Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,894), but is distinguished from and an improvement on that variety and other known late maturing varieties in having fruit which is firmer, has better red color in our area, and which first ripens 3 days before Autumn Grand, but has an extended harvest period because of its extreme firmness. The fruit is further distinguished by average size, good acidic flavor, and excellent shape for the commercial grower.
This present variety differs substantially from Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) by ripening approximately 60 days later and by being a clingstone rather than a freestone. It also substantially differs from its other grandparent, Autumn Free (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) by being a clingstone instead of a freestone, by having much superior red color, and by ripening 5 days later.
The accompanying photograph shows the characteristics of the whole fruit in skin color and form, a characteristic fruit divided on its suture plane showing the flesh and stone, and typical leaves.
Referring now more specifically to the pomological characteristics of this new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, the following has been observed under the ecological conditions prevailing near Le Grand, Merced County (San Joaquin Valley), Calif., and was developed at the state of hard ripe on Sept. 5, 1985.
