Dwarf nectarine tree

Abstract

A genetically dwarf nectarine tree, with short internodes, which is comparatively large, vigorous, upright, spreading, dense, foliated with large, lanceolate leaves having a glandular, crenate margin, blooms with large, pink flowers, and a regular and very productive bearer of large, uniform, symmetrical, globose, clingstone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, and yellow flesh.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of genetically dwarf nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which has short internodes, is comparatively large, vigorous, upright, spreading, dense, foliated with large, lanceolate leaves having a glandular, crenate margin, blooms with large, pink flowers, and a regular and very productive bearer of large, uniform, symmetrical, globose, clingstone fruit having yellow skin substantially overspread with red, and yellow flesh; the tree, because of such short internodes, being only about 30 percent as high as the Red Grand nectarine, although the fruit, in size and appearance, resembles that of the latter but with much less red around the pit.
