Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree with the following unique combination of desirable features:
1. Heavy and regular production.
2. Vigorous, upright growth.
3. Mild, sweet subacid fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality.
4. Fruit with firm flesh, good storage and shipping quality.
5. Fruit with a high degree of attractive red skin color.
Description
The present new variety of nectarine tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a second generation seeding from a cross between a selected seedling with the field identification number 97ED497 and June Glo Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,228). The seedling selected with the identification number 97ED497, which is the female parent, originated from open pollinated White Lady Peach (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,821) seed grown by us. A large group of these second generation seedlings were planted and maintained under careful observation by us, during which time we recognized the desirable fruit characteristics described above and selected the present variety for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
The new and distinct variety of nectarine tree was asexually reproduced by budding as performed by us, in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., which shows that all characteristics are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations and run true to the original tree in all respects.
The herein described variety of nectarine tree is large, vigorous, upright in growth and is a regular and productive bearer of large, firm, white flesh, clingstone fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having good storage and shipping quality, holding firm on the tree 6 to 7 days after maturity (shipping ripe) and in comparison to June Glo Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,228) has white flesh instead of yellow flesh and is approximately 6 days later in maturity.
The accompanying color photograph shows reproductions of typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new variety of nectarine tree. The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves and the exterior and sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to show flesh coloration, pit cavity and a stone remaining in place. The photographs were taken shortly after the fruit was picked at maturity (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, based on observations of specimens grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
