Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is somewhat similar to the "Red Lion" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,591) from which it was derived as a cross with the "Summer Lion" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,544), but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately eight (8) days prior to the fruit produced by the "Red Lion" nectarine tree and wherein the fruit is of an outstanding quality having a very good flavor, a highly red blush skin coloration and superior eating quality.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described which is somewhat similar to the "Red Lion" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant No. 5,591) from which it was derived as a cross with the "Summer Lion" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,544), but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately August 1 to August 8, or about eight days before, the "Red Lion" nectarine tree, in the San Joaquin Valley of central California and which has an intense red blush skin coloration.
