Nectarine tree named 'Sierra Pearl'

摘要

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the mid season and requires about 550 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in late July, with first picking on Jul. 26, 2013. The fruit is medium in size, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, white in flesh color, mostly red in skin color, and a tasty blend of acid and high sugar.

主权项

1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘August Pearl’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,926) nectarine by being self-fruitful, by having globose leaf glands, and by producing nectarines that are similar in size, firm in texture, mostly red in skin color, white in flesh color, globose in shape, clingstone in type and excellent in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that matures about one week earlier and that has a bitter kernel instead of sweet.
