Abstract

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Red Jim" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,518) from which it was derived, but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately ten days after the fruit produced by the "Red Jim" 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 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 and which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Red Jim" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,518) from which it was derived and to the "Olympia" nectarine tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,248), but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit having an apex that can be characterized as generally rounded with a low tip which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately August 28 to September 9 approximately ten days later than the "Red Jim" nectarine tree in the San Joaquin Valley of central Calif. and which possesses a more glossy skin with more of a tendency for a red blush coloration in a stripped pattern and a pistil that is slightly oblique to the fruit axis.
