Nectarine tree

Abstract

A nectarine tree which is large, vigorous, upright to spreading, medium in size and texture of the trunk and branches, foliated with large to medium size, medium thick, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin and globose glands, blooms mid-season with large flowers, and a regular and very productive bearer of large, symmetrical, globose, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, and yellow flesh.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is large, vigorous, upright to spreading, medium in size and texture of the trunk and branches, foliated with large to medium size, medium thick, lanceolate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin and globose glands, blooms mid-season with large flowers, and a regular and very productive bearer of large, symmetrical, globose, freestone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, and yellow flesh; the variety being particularly characterized by fruit embracing both the bright red exterior color and the firm flesh of the fruit of the Red Diamond nectarine, the seed parent, and the very firm flesh of the fruit of the Sun Grand nectarine, the pollen parent, but ripening about ten days earlier than said Sun Grand nectarine.
