Description
Botanical designation: Fragaria x ananassa.
Cultivar denomination: ‘ALLEGRO’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Strawberry plant, botanically known as Fragaria x ananassa and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Allegro’.
The new Strawberry plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Eck en Wiel, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new early-ripening Strawberry plants with good fruit quality, ease of harvesting, good postharvest longevity and resistance to pathogens.
The new Strawberry plant originated from a cross-pollination by the Inventor during the spring of 2008 in Eck en Wiel, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Fragaria x ananassa identified as code number E2003-097, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Fragaria x ananassa identified as code number E2006-492, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Strawberry plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Eck en Wiel, The Netherlands during the summer of 2010.
Asexual reproduction of the new Strawberry plant by runner cuttings in a controlled environment at Eck en Wiel, The Netherlands since the autumn of 2010, has shown that the unique features of this new Strawberry plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Plants of the new Strawberry have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Allegro’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Allegro’ as a new and distinct Strawberry plant:
-
- 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Moderately vigorous to vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Uniform and early fruit ripening.
- 4. Medium-sized ovoid fruits that are moderately glossy and red in color.
- 5. Pleasant fruit aroma and taste.
- 6. Excellent fruit postharvest longevity.
- 7. Moderately resistant to Phytophthora cactorum.
Plants of the new Strawberry differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Strawberry are more upright than and not as flat as plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Fruits of plants of the new Strawberry are ovoid in shape whereas fruits of plants of the female parent selection are conical in shape.
Plants of the new Strawberry differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Strawberry are more vigorous than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Strawberry are darker green in color than leaves of plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Strawberry can be compared to plants of Fragaria L. ‘Sonata’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,000. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Strawberry differ primarily from plants of ‘Sonata’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Strawberry are more upright than and not as flat as plants of ‘Sonata’.
- 2. Plants of the new Strawberry are more vigorous than plants of ‘Sonata’.
- 3. Plants of the new Strawberry have longer leaves with typically longer petioles than plants of ‘Sonata’.
- 4. Plants of the new Strawberry flower and fruit earlier than plants of ‘Sonata’.
- 5. Fruits of plants of the new Strawberry are darker in color than fruits of plants of ‘Sonata’.
- 6. Fruits of plants of the new Strawberry are heavier and firmer than fruits of plants of ‘Sonata’.
Plants of the new Strawberry can also be compared to plants of Fragaria L. ‘Honeoye’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Strawberry differ primarily from plants of ‘Honeoye’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Fruits of plants of the new Strawberry are lighter in color than fruits of plants of ‘Honeoye’.
- 2. Achenes of plants of the new Strawberry are level with the fruit surface whereas achenes of plants of ‘Honeoye’ are positioned below the fruit surface.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Strawberry plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Strawberry plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a top perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Allegro’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical leaves, developing fruits and developed fruits of a typical plant of ‘Allegro’.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in ground beds during the spring and summer in a glass-covered greenhouse in Elst, Gelderland, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Strawberry production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 25° C. and night temperatures ranged from 7° C. to 14° C. Plants were one year old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
