Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree is characterized by producing a semi clingstone fruit with a gold red blush coloration and is ripe for commercial harvesting and shipment August 15-20 in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The new variety is closely 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 distinguishable in that the fruit ripens about three to five days prior to the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree and the fruit is somewhat larger in size than that of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree. The fruit of the in instant variety has a very good flavor compared to the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree.
