Abstract
A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, denominated 'Flordabest', has a low winter chilling requirement estimated at 250 chill units (cu). The tree is of medium size, has a moderate vigorous and semi-upright growth habit. It has non-showy, pink flowers, and leaves with reniform glands. Trees of 'Flordabest' are self-fertile and regularly bear heavy annual crops of early season fruit that are large for its ripening season. Fruit are uniformly firm and yellow with melting flesh which are semi-clingstone. Fruit are oval, and uniform with substantially symmetrical shape, and have an attractive 90 to 100% bright red skin. The fruit of 'Flordabest' ripens about 7 to 10 days before ‘TropicBeauty’ peach in early May at Gainesville, Fla.
