Nectarine tree named ‘June Sweet’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a nectarine tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid June, with first picking on Jun. 21, 2006. The fruit is uniformly large in size, sub-acidic and sweet in flavor, globose to somewhat oblong in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, yellow in flesh color, and full red in skin color.

1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to its parent, ‘Kay Sweet’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,884) nectarine, by producing nectarines that are very firm in texture, clingstone in type, sub-acidic in flavor, yellow in flesh color, and full red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is larger in size, that is sweeter in flavor, and that matures about eighteen days later.
