Abstract
The present invention relates to a nectarine tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the second week in August, with first picking on Aug. 10, 1990. The fruit is uniformly large in size, excellent in flavor, attractively globose in shape, clingstone in type, very firm in texture, and full red in skin color. The variety was developed as a hybridized seedling from an unnamed nectarine seed parent and an unnamed nectarine pollen parent. The unnamed pollen parent resulted from a cross of Red Diamond Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) and Aurora Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,792).
Description
In a continuing effort to improve the quality of shipping fruits, we, the inventors, typically hybridize a large number of nectarine, peach, plum, apricot, and cherry seedlings each year. The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, which has been denominated varietally as ∓Summer Blush". The present variety was hybridized in 1985 by us in a cultivated area of our experimental orchard at Bradford Farms near Le Grand, Calif. in Merced County (San Joaquin Valley). It was the result of an unnamed nectarine seedling as the selected seed parent and another unnamed nectarine seedling as the selected pollen parent. This unnamed pollen parent resulted from a cross of Red Diamond Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) and Aurora Grand Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,792). 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 fruit produced by the present variety is most similar to that of the August Red Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,363) by being large in size, very firm in texture, and clingstone in type, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing fruit that is full red in skin color over the entire fruit surface, that is sweeter in flavor, and that ripens 12 days earlier.
The present variety is similar to both of its pollen grandparents, the Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) and the Aurora Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,792), in fruit appearance by being a full red colored nectarine with excellent firmness, but is very distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is clingstone instead of freestone and that ripens approximately 42 to 70 days later, respectively.
The accompanying photograph exhibits four whole fruits positioned to display the characteristics of the skin color and form, a sectioned half fruit divided transverse to the suture plane to reveal the flesh, a typical stone, and representative 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 eating ripe on Aug. 14, 1990.

Although the new variety of nectarine tree possesses the described characteristics under the ecological conditions at Le Grand, Calif., in the central part of the San Joaquin Valley, it is to be expected that variations in these characteristics may occur when farmed in areas with different climatic conditions, different soil types, and/or varying cultural practices.
