Elegance is a midium-season cropping<br />
variety from East Malling’s breeding<br />
programme. It crops a bit later<br />
than Elsanta and has a long season.<br />
Elegance produces large, very uniform,<br />
medium-red fruits. There are<br />
almost no crippled fruits to speak of.<br />
The attractive gloss and the overall<br />
appearance of the fruits in the punnet<br />
are truly convincing. Yields are im -<br />
pressive with a large percentage of<br />
Class 1 fruits. Its good shelf life makes<br />
Elegance an interesting variety for<br />
supermarkets, while it has to be ac -<br />
cepted that the flavour is unexceptional<br />
and the aroma not very pronounced.<br />
Elegance is easy to pick<br />
and suitable for 60-day production.<br />
The plants are healthy and feature<br />
an erect habit. The fruits are well displayed<br />
on long pedicels, which gives<br />
a high picking rate.<br />
Cultivation is fairly easy as experience<br />
has shown so far. Where diseases<br />
are concerned, we have to mention<br />
the high susceptibility to mildew.<br />
Elegance is a promising variety for<br />
supermarkets. The berries look great<br />
in the punnet.
