It does not happen every day that a breeder finds a great new selection, but this one I will remember.
Back in 2004, when serving as Sun World’s grape breeder, I made this cross, and on August 25, 2006, I have visited the original seedling and identified it as a new selection.

At first sight I knew that these grapes are special.
When I brought clusters into the lab everybody agreed that this new selection does have a lot of potential. This new selection fits very well to be harvested after Thompson Seedless as a late green seedless grape.

I am very glad that Sun World has continued the development of this selection, and has decided to brand it as:  AUTUMNCRISP® 

This new selection became US PP20,491 P2 on November 17, 2009. 

Here are some links of articles about the new brand:

In late September 2016  I was very happy to find Autumn Crisp at the grocery stores in Israel.

It is grown and marketed by Tali Grapes.
