Abstract
The present invention relates to a nectarine tree, Prunus persica , and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium sized, vigorous, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in late June, with first picking on Jun. 24, 1999. The fruit is uniformly large in size, subacidic and sweet in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm and crisp in texture, and fully red in skin color. The variety was a first generation cross using an unnamed white flesh nectarine as the selected seed parent and Ruby Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,918) as the selected pollen parent.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and desribed, that is most similar to Spring Sweet (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,962) nectarine, by producing fruit that is full red in skin color, yellow in flesh color, subacidic in flavor, clingstone in type and firm in texture, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing fruit that is sweeter in flavor, that is larger in size and that ripens 7 days earlier.
