The present invention relates to a new and distinct cherry tree (Prunus avium L.) that is characterized by a round oblong shaped fruit with uniform sides and which matures at the same time or slightly after (2 to 4 days) after fruit of the ‘Chelan’ or with ‘Brooks’ cherry trees when grown under similar ecological conditions.

A pecan tree distinguished by the following unique combination of characteristics: Consistent and acceptable fruit production, small fruit cluster, early nut maturity, large nut producing mammoth kernels with excellent color, and high resistance to scab fungus.

A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree named “Andes Nec-4” which has fruit that is similar to the ‘6B-170’ nectarine that is white in flash color. The variety is distinguished from the ‘6B-170’ by reaching out higher content of soluble solids, by more extended red blush of the nectarine surface, by slower pulp softening rate during the last two weeks before the commercial harvest, by a higher postharvest life potential, and by a balanced acid/sweet flavor. ‘Andes Nec-4’ can maintain its quality after 40 days in cold storage.

‘NC4’ is a new and distinct variety of pear tree (Pyrus communis), selected from seedlings produced as the result of a cross between female parent ‘Concorde’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,192) and male parent ‘Red Williams’ (not patented). ‘NC4’ is distinguished by its fruit, the skin color of which is red-purple at harvest, turning to red-orange upon ripening.

A new peach variety (Prunus persica) designated as ‘Vilmos’ is provided. ‘Vilmos’ forms attractive, high quality fruit that matures during the commercially important ‘Andross’ period, and demonstrates a capacity to maintain good on-tree fruit quality for up to 10 days following initial ripening, allowing delayed harvest and economically efficient single harvests. Further, ‘Vilmos’ fruit exhibits the desirable characteristics of being free from the red staining of the pit area of fruit flesh in addition to having low susceptibility to splitting or cracking of the fruit pit during ripening, while also having other desirable fruit characteristics that are substantially similar to ‘Andross’.
