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.
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 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.
