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, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in early to mid September, with first picking on Sep. 7, 2005. The fruit is very large in size, acidic and sweet in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, yellow with red bleeding in flesh color, and about fifty percent red in skin color. The variety was developed as a first generation cross using ‘September Red’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,664) nectarine as the selected seed parent and an unnamed nectarine (unpatented) as the selected pollen parent.
Claims1
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to its selected seed parent, ‘September Red’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,664) nectarine by producing late maturing clingstone nectarines that are red and yellow in skin color, yellow with red bleeding in flesh color, acidic and sweet in flavor, and nearly globose in shape but is distinguished therefrom by having a sweet instead of bitter kernel and by producing nectarines that are much larger in size.
