No. 9,963) nectarine, by producing nectarines that are nearly globose in shape, firm in texture, sub-acidic in flavor, and yellow in flesh color, but is distinguished therefrom by having a sweet instead of bitter kernel and by producing fruit that is sweeter in flavor and that mature about two weeks earlier.
