  • Publication number: 20180014443
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree named “Andes Nec-4” which has fruit that is similar to the ‘6B-170’ nectarine that is white in flash color. The variety is distinguished from the ‘6B-170’ by reaching out higher content of soluble solids, by more extended red blush of the nectarine surface, by slower pulp softening rate during the last two weeks before the commercial harvest, by a higher postharvest life potential, and by a balanced acid/sweet flavor. ‘Andes Nec-4’ can maintain its quality after 40 days in cold storage.
