Nectarine tree (43-G-587)

Abstract

A nectarine which is large, vigorous, spreading, foliated with medium size, ovate, acutely pointed leaves having a crenate margin and alternate, medium size, reniform glands, blooms mid-season with large, pink flowers, and is a regular and very productive bearer of early June ripening, medium size, uniform, 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, particularly characterized by fruit having a ripening period between the Aurelio Grand and May Grand; the fruit being of a firmness which permits long distance shipping and provides a substantial shelf life.
