Nectarine tree (July Red)

Abstract

The present invention relates to a nectarine tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large, vigorous, hardy, very productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit is a clingstone, and under the ecological conditions described, ripens about three days later than Red Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060), and is firmer and larger. The fruit also has a bright, almost solid red skin color, an attractive globose form, and is of very good eating quality.

I Claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of clingstone nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which most closely resembles Red Grand (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,060) nectarine but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon in that it produces very heavy crops of fruit that ripen three to five days later, is larger and firmer, has a globose form, and a sweet kernel.
