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 />
