Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, Prunus persica , broadly characterized by a medium to large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the mid to late season and requires about 600 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid August, with first picking on Aug. 12, 2017. The fruit is uniform, large in size, acidic with traditional nectarine flavor, globose to slightly elongated in shape, clingstone in type, firm and crisp in texture, yellow in flesh color, virtually full red in skin color, and has a bitter tasting kernel.

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 ‘August Bright’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,143) nectarine by being self-fertile, by having a now showy blossom, by blooming in the mid to late season, and by producing nectarines that mature in mid August and that are mostly red in skin color, yellow in flesh color, globose to slightly oblong in shape, clingstone in type, very good in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom by having a larger tree, by blooming more densely, by having globose instead of reniform leaf glands, and by producing fruit that is somewhat larger in size, that has much less skin freckling, that is sweeter in flavor, and that has a bitter instead of sweet kernel.
