A new and distinct nectarine which is somewhat similar to the ‘Sunny Red’ nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,534) from which it is a sport but from which it is distinguished by producing a later ripening fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately 3 to 5 days after the ‘Sunny Red’ nectarine, as well as being white fleshed as compared to the yellow fleshed fruit of ‘Sunny Red.’
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 somewhat nearly similar to the ‘Sunny Red’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,534) from which it is a sport but from which it is distinguished by producing a later maturing fruit with good coloration, white fleshed with good edible quality, which matures for commercial harvesting and shipment September 7-10 or about 3-5 days after the fruit of ‘Sunny Red.’
