Descriptor<br />

Strawberry (Fragaria) TG/22/9<br />

Period 2005-2009<br />

Conditions<br />

The original seedling was asexually propagated in Shasta<br />

County, California USA and was subsequently propagated by<br />

stolons in Ventura County, California USA each year and<br />

replanted in field from 2006-2009. Propagules were planted<br />

in raised beds side by side with comparators in Ventura<br />

County, California USA in Autumn and grown under<br />

standard conditions under full sun.<br />

Trial Design <strong>Plant</strong>s of the new variety ‘DrisStrawThirteen’ were multiplied<br />

asexually from stolons in a plant nursery in Ventura County,<br />

California USA. <strong>Plant</strong>s were grown in rows in raised soil beds<br />

alongside comparator plants of ‘Driscoll Ojai’ (PP18575) and<br />

‘Driscoll El Dorado’ (PP16238) under conditions typical of<br />

commercial strawberry production in Ventura County,<br />

California USA.<br />

Measurements Measurements were made, according to UPOV guidelines and<br />

terminology, 4-6 months after planting in the field against<br />

comparative varieties. Colours are described using The Royal<br />

Horticultural Society Colour Chart, London (RHS).<br />

RHS Chart - edition 2001<br />

Origin and Breeding<br />

Controlled pollination: the new variety originated as a result of a controlled cross<br />

between the propriety female parent ‘2K297’ (unpatented breeding line) and the<br />

pollen parent ‘Driscoll Ojai’ (PP18575) and was discovered as a seedling in Oct 2005<br />

in Ventura County, California USA. The original seedling was asexually propagated<br />

by stolons and tissue culture and tested for four years. This propagation and testing<br />

has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein which characterise the<br />

new variety ‘DrisStrawThirteen’ are fixed and retained true to type through successive<br />

generations of asexual reproduction. Breeders: Michael D. Ferguson and Terrance C,<br />

Moran both employees of Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc. Watsonville, California<br />
