Abstract
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid June, with first picking on Jun. 14, 2006. The fruit is uniformly large in size, sub-acidic and very sweet in flavor, globose in shape, freestone in type, very firm in texture, white in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color.
Claims1
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Diamond Pearl’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,242) nectarine, by producing nectarines that are nearly globose in shape, very firm in texture, white in flesh color, and nearly full red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom by having globose instead of reniform glands, by having a sweet instead of bitter tasting kernel, and by producing nectarines that are freestone instead of clingstone in type.
