Abstract

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is somewhat similar to the Red Lion Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,591) and the May Grand Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794) with which it is most closely related but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized as to novelty by producing fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting approximately July 1 through July 12 in Fresno County, Calif. and which further produces fruit that exhibits a bright red skin color, a yellow colored, firm flesh and has excellent eating qualities.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW VARIETY
The present invention relates to a Nectarine Tree denominated varietally as "Summer Lion" and more particularly to such a nectarine tree which produces a clingstone fruit which has a very large size and a dark red skin color and which further is characterized as to novelty by producing a fruit which is ripe for commercial harvesting approximately July 1 through July 12 in the central portion of the San Joaquin Valley of central California.
From an economic perspective, the relative dates that various varieties of nectarine trees become ripe for commercial harvesting are of extreme importance. It has long been recognized as desirable to provide a nectarine tree which bears fruit during a portion of the season later than other varieties of nectarine trees with which it is most closely similar, whereby the fruit provided by same can be sent to market at a time when competition is at a minimum and the best price can be negotiated. Moreover, it has generally been agreed that an additional economic benefit can be attained if the harvesting period of a particular orchard is spread over a longer period of time because the capital expenditure attendant to harvest and transport of the fruit produced by the orchard can be spread over an extended period of time resulting in an overall lower cost of the final product and increasing the uniformity of production throughout an entire growing season.
The new and distinct variety of nectarine tree is characterized as to novelty by producing fruit which mature at mid-season, that is, approximately July 1 through July 12 in the central part of the San Joaquin Valley of central California, and in addition produces fruit having a large size, an attractive dark red skin color, and an excellent flavor.
ORIGIN AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
In a continuing effort to upgrade the quality of their fruit, the applicants have routinely cross pollinated known varieties of nectarine trees having desirable characteristics and thereafter carefully studied the progeny produced from this procedure to determine if a new variety of nectarine tree was produced. The present variety of nectarine tree resulted from this course of conduct.
The new and distinct variety of nectarine tree hereof was the offspring produced from a successful cross pollination of a Red Lion variety of nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,591) and a May Grand Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794); the cross pollination technique being performed by the inventors on the inventors' property located at 11024 East Dinuba Avenue in Selma, Calif. The first cross pollination, which occurred in 1983 produced offspring which were noted to have desirable characteristics. The inventors thereafter successfully asexually reproduced the new and distinct variety by budding it into test trees on the same property located in Selma, Calif. The first successful asexual reproduction took place in 1984. The progeny produced from these first asexual reproductions have been continually observed by the inventors and it has been subsequently determined that the progeny produced possess the same distinctive characteristics as the original offspring.
SUMMARY OF THE NEW VARIETY
The Summer Lion Nectarine Tree is characterized by many of the desirable features found in the Red Lion Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,591) and the May Grand Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794), but has the important distinction of bearing fruit which is ripe for commercial harvesting approximately six weeks earlier than the Red Lion Nectarine Tree and approximately one month later than the May Grand Nectarine Tree, and which furthermore produces fruit having a large size and an intense red skin coloration, the variety furthermore being clingstone by nature.

Generally.--coarse, and moderately wide, with lateral ridges converging at the ventral edge. Occasionally a low wing occurs over the basal ventral suture area.
Dorsal edge:
Form.--substantially narrower than the ventral edge with high discontinuous ridges along the dorsal suture, and a moderately wide groove basally. The groove of the subject variety narrows over the apical shoulders. The apical shoulder is slightly eroded, this is particularly evident in the area from the apex to a position approximately to 7 to 8 mm. below the apex.
Stone color: Buff (10-E-3). The stone of the subject variety retains a slight maroon colored stain from the surrounding flesh fibers.
Tendency to split: An occasional split stone may be found; substantial numbers of split stones were not observed.
Use: Fresh market, for both long distance shipping and local use.
Resistance to disease: No particular susceptibilities noted.
Keeping quality: Good.
Shipping quality: As yet to be determined although the firm, crisp flesh exhibited by the fruit of the subject invention strongly indicates that the instant variety will have noteworthy shipping characteristics.
Although the new variety of nectarine tree possesses the desired characteristics as a result of the growing conditions prevailing in Fresno County, Calif., in the central part of the San Joaquin Valley, it is to be understood that variations in the usual magnitude and characteristics incident to growing conditions, fertilization, pruning and pest control are to be expected.
