I bought one of these trees yesterday at Lowe's. It doesn't have a zone label on it but I'm hoping it will work out here in Iowa, even if it doesn't reliably fruit every year (similar to my peach). The plant patent on this tree is PP13495 and can be found here:
[HYPERLINK@www.freepatentsonline.com]
Parentage of the tree was Red Glen and an unnamed white fleshed nectarine as the pollen parent.
The tree has white fleshed nectarines. I have not tasted one since I just got the tree. I'll see how it does here in Iowa and try to remember to update this note. If you see that I haven't updated the note, please remind me and I'll do so!
I bought 2 of these nectarine trees at a Lowe's and I cannot find any information about it online!!!! Hoping someone can add to this file....will update about tree progress....UPDATE 7/19/08----we moved from this location over a year ago before fruit bore so I can't comment on that, the simple label the plant came with from the box store had a patent # on it but in searching the govt patent records online it said that patent # was INVALID so there was little we could find out about this tree.
