Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Nectarine Tree characterized by its low chilling requirement, producing a mid-season ripening, good quality, yellow fleshed, high firm, attractively colored and shaped fruit.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree which is characterized by producing a semi clingstone fruit with a red blush coloration and is ripe for commercial marketing and shipment September 9-15 in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The new variety is clearly similar to the ‘August Red’ nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6363) from which it is a sport but from which it is distinguishable by fruit ripening 4 to 5 weeks after the fruit of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree and the fruit being somewhat larger in size than that of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree. The fruit of this instant variety has a very good flavor compared to the fruit of the ‘August Red’ nectarine tree.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, denominated ‘Sunbest’, has a low winter chilling requirement estimated at 225 chill units (cu). The tree is of medium size, has a moderate vigorous and upright growth habit. It has non-showy, pink flowers and leaf glands are small and reniform shape. Trees of ‘Sunbest’ are self-fertile and regularly bear heavy annual crops of early season fruit which are large for its ripening season. Fruit are uniformly firm and yellow with melting flesh which are semi-freestone. Fruit are oval, and uniform with substantially symmetrical shape, and have an attractive 90 to 100% bright red skin. The fruit of ‘Sunbest’ ripens about 3 to 5 days before ‘Sunraycer’ nectarine in early May at Gainesville, Fla.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of early-season clingstone peach tree (i.e., Prunus persica) is provided. Attractive fruit is formed that is well suited for processing having uniform yellow flesh that is free from red staining at the pit cavity.
