Nectarine tree named ‘Pearlicious VIII’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the mid season and requires about 525 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in late June, with first picking on Jun. 26, 2021. The fruit is uniform, large in size, oblate in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, white in flesh color, full red in skin color, a tasty blend of low acid and high sugar in flavor, and has a bitter tasting kernel. The fruit has a very long harvest window, as it can hang firm on the tree for up to 3 weeks.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described.
