Nectarine tree named ‘Giant Bright’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a medium size, medium vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, medium productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the mid to late season and requires about 650 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid July, with first picking on Jul. 14, 2009. The fruit is uniformly large in size, acidic and sweet in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm and melting in texture, mostly red in skin color, and nearly full yellow in flesh color.

1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Summer Bright’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,049) nectarine by producing nectarines that are nearly full red in skin color, yellow in flesh color, clingstone in type, acidic in flavor, and that mature in mid July, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is substantially larger in size.
