Abstract

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the ‘Spring Bright’ nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,507), but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately five days to seven days prior to the fruit produced by the ‘Spring Bright’ nectarine tree in the San Joaquin Valley of central California and wherein the fruit is of high quality having a skin coloration of dark garnet red over nearly the entire surface thereof.

Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.

Having thus described and illustrated our new variety of nectarine tree, what we claim as new and desire to be secured by Plant Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described which is somewhat remotely similar to the ‘Spring Bright’ nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,507), but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately five days to seven days prior to the ‘Spring Bright’ nectarine tree, in the San Joaquin Valley of central California and which have a distinctive dark garnet red coloration over virtually its complete skin surface.
