Abstract
The present invention relates to a nectarine tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in August, with first picking on Jul. 28, 1997. The fruit is unifomrmly large in size, acidic in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, very firm and crispy in texture, and nearly full red in skin color. The variety was a first generation cross using `Red Glen` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,193) nectarine as the selected seed parent and `September Red` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,664) nectarine as the selected pollen parent.
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 its seed parent, `Red Glen` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,193), by producing clingstone nectarines that are acidic in flavor, very firm in texture, and full red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing friut that ripens about twelve days late, by having a larg blossom instead of small, and by having a bitter kernel instead of sweet.
