No. 7,507) nectarine, by producing nectarines that are nearly globose in shape, acidic and sweet in flavor, and full red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom by producing nectarines that are yellow with much more red bleeding in flesh color, that are larger in size, and that mature about five days earlier.
