Abstract
Our new and distinct variety of nectarine tree has the following unique combination of desirable features:
1. Heavy and regular production of fruit.
2. Fruit with firm white flesh having good handling and shipping ability.
3. Fruit that will hold firm on the tree 5-7 days after tree ripe.
4. Fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality.
5. Relatively uniform ripening of the fruit on the tree.
6. Vigorous upright growth of the tree.
Description
Our new variety of nectarine tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. as a third generation seedling of a cross between Ruby Gold Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,101) and Red Wing Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 621). We grew and maintained a large group of these third generation seedlings under close observation, one such seedling producing fruit with especially desirable characteristics was selected for reproduction and commercialization.
Our new nectarine tree was asexually reproduced by budding, as performed by us in the experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. and shows that all tree and fruit characteristics run true to the original tree and are identical in all respects.
The present new and distinct variety of nectarine tree is of large size, vigorous, upright growth and a regular and productive bearer of large, firm, white flesh, freestone fruit with good storage and shipping quality. The fruit is further characterized by being sub-acid, mild and sweet with excellent flavor and eating quality. Its firm flesh allows the fruit to be handled with the same procedure and equipment used to handle yellow flesh nectarines which is unique for a white flesh variety.
The accompanying photographic reproductions show typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of the new nectarine variety. The upper and lower surface of the leaves are illustrated, the exterior and sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane reveal flesh coloration and a stone remaining in place. The photographs were taken shortly after being picked (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit as based on observations of specimens grown in the experimental orchard near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
