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, winter hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in July, with first picking on Jul. 1, 1992. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, nonacidic in flavor, globose in shape, freestone in type, medium firm in texture, and nearly full red in skin color. The variety was developed as a second generation cross using Sun Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 974) nectarine as the seed parent and Robin (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 529) peach as the pollen parent.
Description
In a continuing effort to improve the quality of fresh market and shipping fruits, we, the inventors, typically hybridize a large number of nectarine and peach seedlings each year. Additionally, we grow a number of open pollinated seeds looking for second generation characteristics. The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, which has been denominated varietally as "BRADCRIM". The present variety was developed by us in 1982 by growing an open pollinated seed from an unnamed peach seedling in a cultivated area of our experimental orchard at Bradford Farms near Le Grand, Calif. in Merced County (San Joaquin Valley). This unnamed peach seedling resulted from crossing Sun Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 974) nectarine as a seed parent by Robin (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 529) peach as a pollen parent. 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 its seed grandparent, the Sun Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 974), by producing medium sized, red colored, freestone nectarines that ripen in early July, but is most distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing fruit that is white in flesh and nonacidic in flavor, instead of yellow in flesh and semi-acidic in flavor.
The present variety is similar to its selected pollen grandparent, the Robin (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 529), by abundantly producing medium sized, mild tasting, white fleshed freestone fruit but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing fruit that ripens about one month later and, most obviously, by being a nectarine instead of a peach.
The accompanying photograph exhibits four whole fruits positioned to display the characteristics of the skin color and form, one fruit divided along the suture plane to reveal 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 eating ripe on Jul. 7, 1992.

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.
