Abstract

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is characterized by producing a semi clingstone fruit with a red blush coloration and is ripe for commercial marketing and shipment September 9-15 in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The new variety is clearly similar to the ‘August Red’ nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,363) from which it is a sport but from which it is distinguishable by fruit ripening 4 to 5 weeks after the fruit of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree and the fruit being somewhat larger in size than that of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree. The fruit of this instant variety has a very good flavor compared to the fruit of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree.

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

Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of nectarine tree, what I 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 remotely similar to the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,363) from which it is a sport but from which it is distinguished by producing a later maturing fruit with good size, exterior coloration and eating quality which matures for commercial harvesting and shipment September 8-15, or about 3-4 weeks after the fruit of ‘August Red’.
