Abstract
A new strawberry variety producing firm fruit on an early flowering plant.
Description
The new variety of strawberry was created in a breeding program by crossing as male parent the variety known as `Selva` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5266) and as female parent the variety known as `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5262).
The resulting seedling of the new variety was grown and asexually propagated by runners(stolons) in Ferrara, Italy. Clones of the new variety were further asexually propagated and extensively tested. This propagation and testing has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein which characterize the new variety are fixed and retained true to type through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct strawberry variety. The varietal denomination of the new variety is `Civero`. Among the characteristics which distinguish the new variety from other varieties are a combination of traits which include firm fruit having strong aroma and very good taste. `Civero` is particularly suited for culture in low chilling areas, both under plastic and outdoors. It is not an ever bearing variety. Bud break is about January 15-25 in Battipaglia, Italy, and first bloom occurs in the early part of February and lasts about ten days.
The new variety is closest to the variety `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5262), but is distinguished therefrom by the following characteristics possessed by `Civero` which are different than, or not possessed by, `Chandler`: `Civero` flowers earlier than `Chandler` and the fruit has a lighter color. The varieties also differ in fruit shape. The following table provides a comparison of the varieties `Civero`, `Chandler` and `Selva`, as well as additional descriptive information for `Civero`.

______________________________________
The above characteristics have been determined in Battipaglia, (Salerno) Southern Italy in the month of April.
The leaves of `Civero` are medium in size. The terminal leaflet is slightly longer than wide as described by the length/width ratio. Serrations at the margins are medium, between 3.0 and 4.5 mm deep. Single and double serrations are present on the leaf, with moderately obtuse apexes. Petioles are long and medium big in diameter, with medium-low pubescence. Hairs grow slightly upwards on the petiole. Stipules are in pairs and are green in color with weak pigmentation.
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the new variety, including fruit, foliage and flower, in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make in color illustrations of this character.
FIG. 1 shows typical fruit in cross section illustrating the typical flesh and flesh coloration, conspicuous core and core cavity and shape;
FIG. 2 shows a whole strawberry attached to its petiole;
FIGS. 3 and 4 show the fruit on the plant;
FIG. 5 shows the flower and reproductive organs of the new variety; and
FIG. 6 shows the upper surface of a typical foliage of the new variety;
The following detailed description of the new variety is based upon observations taken of plants and fruits grown "underglass," in Naples, Italy, in the month of April.
The following description is in accordance with UPOV terminology and the color terminology herein is in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.). The color descriptions and other phenotypical descriptions may deviate from the stated values and descriptions depending upon variation in environmental, seasonal, climatic and cultural conditions.
The new variety is principally propagated by way of runners (stolons). Although propagation by runners is presently preferred, other known methods of propagating strawberry plants, such as micropropagation, may be used. The new variety roots well after transplanting.
The term "blistering" used herein refers to the texture or rugosity inherent to leaves and is generally a constant characteristic.
