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.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
We claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is similar to its seed grandparent, the Sun Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 974), by producing medium sized, red colored, medium firm, freestone nectarines that ripen in early July, but is 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.
