Nectarine tree named ‘AUTUMN BRIGHT’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a medium size, moderately vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid September, with first picking on Sep. 12, 2006. The fruit is uniformly large in size, acidic and sweet in flavor, globose to slightly oblong in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, yellow in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color.

1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to its parent, ‘September Bright’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,475) nectarine, by producing nectarines that are firm in texture, clingstone in type, yellow in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that matures about seven days later.
