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, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the second week in June, with first picking on Jun. 12, 1994. The fruit is uniformly large in size, non-acidic in flavor, slightly oblong in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, and full red in skin color. The variety was a second generation cross of Bradcrim (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,461) white flesh nectarine by Diamond Jewel (U.S. Plant No. 7,050) yellow flesh nectarine.
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. The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, which has been denominated varietally as "June Pearl". The present variety was developed by us in 1989 by growing an open pollinated seed from an unnamed nectarine seedling in a cultivated area of our experimental orchard at Bradford Farms near Le Grand, Calif. in Merced County (San Joaquin Valley). In particular, this unnamed parental nectarine seedling resulted from crossing Bradcrim (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,461) white flesh nectarine as the seed parent and Diamond Jewel (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,050) yellow flesh nectarine as the 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 Bradcrim (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,461), by producing white flesh nectarines that are non-acidic in flavor and virtually free from red texture bleeding, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing fruit that ripens approximately fifteen days earlier, that is firmer in texture, that is fuller red in skin color, and that is clingstone in type, instead of freestone.
The present variety is similar to its pollen grandparent, Diamond Jewel (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,050), by producing large sized, firm, clingstone nectarines that ripen in late June and are nearly full red in skin color, but is very distinguished therefrom by having a large blossom and by producing fruit that is white flesh instead of yellow flesh, and that is non-acidic in flavor instead of acidic.
The accompanying photograph exhibits four whole fruits positioned to display the characteristics of the skin color and form, one fruit divided transversely to the suture plane to reveal the flesh and stone, a 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 shipping ripe on Jun. 16, 1994.

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.
