Origin and Breeding<br />

Controlled pollination: The variety was developed as a first generation cross using an<br />

unnamed white nectarine as the selected seed parent and an unnamed yellow fleshed<br />

peach as the selected pollen parent. The unnamed seed parent was a first generation<br />

cross of ‘Spring Bright’ nectarine by an unnamed white fleshed nectarine. The<br />

unnamed pollen parent was a first generation cross of ‘Spring Bright’ nectarine by an<br />

unnamed yellow peach. A single tree was selected from the stated cross and claimed<br />

as the new variety. Subsequent to the origination of the new variety it was asexually<br />

reproduced by budding and grafting and such reproduction of plant and fruit<br />

characteristics were true to the original in all respects. Breeder: Lowell G. Bradford,<br />

Le Grand, CA, USA.<br />
