Abstract
‘Ruby’ is a new and distinct short-day cultivar of strawberry plant, which produces large conic shape, glossy red color, sweet, juicy and firm fruits. The production is higher than ‘Camarosa’ and the semi-early maturity is similar to ‘Camarosa’ when grown in central and south Florida. ‘Ruby’ plant has the characteristics of low chilling requirement, open plant type, long fruit stem, easy harvesting characteristics which is adapted to growing in the major fruit production areas of the Southeastern United States.
Description
The invention of ‘Ruby’, a new and distintive cultivar of strawberry plant, is a result of the cross breeding between B1' (an unpatented J&P selection) and ‘Selva’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,266). The resulting plant was selected in a controlled breeding plot at J&P Research's cultivated field located in Naples, Fla. during the fruiting season of 1997-1998. It was designated as JPIby the inventor. This cultivar is botanically identified as Fragaria xananassa Duch. ‘Ruby’ has been propagated by runner and meristem culture in Naples, Fla. as well as in the commercial nurseries in United States and Canada. It has been trialed in the fields of growers in both North Carolina and Florida. ‘Ruby’ plant retains its distinctive characteristics and reproduces true to type in successive generations.
The commercial cultivar that we believe to be closest comparison to ‘Ruby’ in appearance from those known to us is ‘Camarosa’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,708). Both of them have the same isozyme banding pattern for phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI); leucine amino peptidase (LAP); and malate dehydrogenase (MDH). For the details see Table 1 isozyme analyses. However, there are several characteristics of ‘Ruby’ that are different from or not possessed by ‘Camarosa’. Those are:
(1) Plant type: The fruiting plant of ‘Ruby’ is a very open and prostrate type plant with a long petiole, but ‘Camarosa’ is more compact and erect and a shorter petiole.
(2) Color: The fruit color of ‘Ruby’ (7.5R4/14) is distinctively lighter than that of ‘Camarosa’ (7.5R3/12 or 6.25R3/12);
(3) Shape: The fruit shape of ‘Ruby’ is conic to long conic in comparison to ‘Camarosa’ which is a more flat shaped fruit.
(4) Bracts: Most of the leaves of ‘Ruby’ have very distinctive bract leaflets on the petiole, whereas there are none on ‘Camarosa’.
(5) Firmness: The fruit firmness of ‘Ruby’ is distinctive firm (517 gram per 5 mm diameter plunger tip) even firmer than ‘Camarosa’ (485 gram per 5 mm diameter plunger tip).
(6) Flavor: The fruit flavor of ‘Ruby’ (11.5 degree Brix) is distinctively sweeter than ‘Camarosa’ (9.8 degree Brix) by the Brix measurement.
(7) Calyx: The fruit calyx of ‘Ruby’ is larger and distinctive indent in comparison to those of ‘Camarosa’ which is smaller and more even or slight indent.

‘Ruby’ is a semi-early fruiting cultivar, which has performed well in trials in Florida during the the1998-99 fruiting season. It is competitive with ‘Camarosa’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’ (U.S. Plant Pat.

Fruit maturity is similar earliness to ‘Camarosa’, but later than ‘Sweet Charlie’, In general, yields from ‘Ruby’ are higher than those of ‘Camarosa’ but less than those of ‘Sweet Charlie’.
However, ‘Ruby’ is more susceptible to powdery mildew disease, so it requires more attention in culture practices.
The distinctive characteristics of this new strawberry cultivar, described in detail below were observed upon its discovery and throughout the repeated test periods.
The plants and foliage characteristics of ‘Ruby’ were collected about 4 month after planting the plants in fruiting field are listed in Table 2.

Data shown in Table 4 were collected during the 1998-1999 fruiting season. The plants for the data came from meristem cultured plants produced in Florida, which were then increased in Canadian nurseries, and grown on three different farms in Plant City, Fla. during the 98/99 fruiting season.
Yield of ‘Ruby’ is less than that of ‘Sweet Charlie’ but higher than that of ‘Camarosa’. The fruit size of the primary fruit of ‘Ruby’ is similar to that of ‘Camarosa’, but larger than that of ‘Sweet Charlie’. The fruit of ‘Ruby’ is firmer than that of ‘Camarosa’ and much firmer than that of ‘Sweet Charlie’ as measured by Fruit Pressure Tester equipped with a 5 mm diameter plunger tip. The sugar content or sweetness, measured as soluble solids, of ‘Ruby’ is higher than those of ‘Camarosa’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’ as measured by Sugar/Brix and the flavor of ‘Ruby’ is very sweet. The fruit skin color of ‘Ruby’ is similar to that of ‘Sweet Charlie’ but not as dark as that of ‘Camarosa’. The ‘Ruby’ finish is very glossy and very attractive. The flesh color of ‘Ruby’ fruit is about the same as the skin and only slightly less intense. The ‘Ruby’ calyx is larger compared to those of ‘Camarosa’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’ and positioned indent to the base of the fruit. Seed placement of ‘Ruby’ is even with the fruit skin with some raised as that of ‘Sweet Charlie’ and less indent than that of ‘Camarosa’.
Because of its high yield and excellent fruit quality, this cultivar is recommended for fresh market in the Southeastern United States.
