  • Patent number: PP7918
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nectarine tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in July, with first picking on Jul. 4, 1990. The fruit is uniformly large in size, excellent in flavor, attractively globose in shape, freestone in type, very firm in texture, and full red in skin color. The variety was developed as a hybridized seedling from the selected seed parent of Red Diamond Nectarine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165), and an unnamed nectarine seedling as the selected pollen parent.

  • Patent number: PP8013
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nectarine tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during the first half of July, with first picking on Jul. 1, 1990, and the last picking on Jul. 15, 1990. The fruit is uniformly large in size, very good in flavor, attractive in appearance, freestone in type, very firm in texture, and full red in skin color. The variety originated as a second generation seedling of a cross between Red Diamond (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,165) and Autumn Free (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,976).

  • Patent number: PP8949
    Abstract: The new nectarine cultivar originated as a limb mutation of unknown causation on a tree present in a young orchard of the N.J. 260 peach cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,572). The new cultivar is substantially similar to the N.J. 260 cultivar with the exception that the fruit is that of a nectarine and lacks pubescence. The fruit of the new cultivar commonly ripens a few days earlier than the late-ripening N.J. 260 cultivar, and its fruit commonly is slightly smaller than that of the N.J. 260 cultivar. The new cultivar generally can be grown in the northern fruit production areas of the United States where the N.J. 260 cultivar is grown.

  • Patent number: PP9263
    Abstract: A new and distinct nectarine tree named Pollok is provided. The new cultivar originated from an open-pollinated peach seed of unknown parentage that was planted by the originator during 1978 or 1979. The new variety is a consistent producer of attractive moderately large freestone fruit with a high degree of bright red skin coloration which ripens late in the commercial nectarine harvest season of the Eastern United States. Firm highly-flavored moderately acidic yellow fruit flesh of excellent quality is formed having only a slight amount of red tinging. The growth habit is moderately vigorous. The firmness of the fruit flesh renders it well amenable for shipment to consumers.

  • Patent number: PP9264
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of nectarine tree is provided that is named Scarlet Sun. The new cultivar originated from an open-pollinated peach seed of unknown parentage that was planted by the originator when seeking to develop new peach and nectarine cultivars of commercial potential primarily for California growing conditions. The new variety produces large freestone fruit with a high degree of bright red skin coloration. The harvest time is relatively early and commonly provides a crop suitable for commercial harvest from about June 15th to 25th when grown in central San Joaquin Valley of California near Fresno. The new cultivar offers improvements in fruit quality, color, and size over other freestone nectarine cultivars maturing at approximately the same time.
