Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct winter planted short-day-type variety of strawberry known as `PS-1031`. This new variety is primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the central coast of California. It is particularly characterized by its strong vigorous plant with high yields, short petiolule length, large berry size and its ability to remain in fruit production from early April through November in Salinas, Calif. The fruit is particularly identifiable by its seedy tipped primaries and longitudinal creases occurring primarily during the spring months. The fruit is very attractive during the summer and fall months with acceptable flavor, firmness and holding quality.
