New berry cultivars produce high yields, quality

A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine shows that peanuts may have the same nutritional benefits as some pricier nuts, making peanuts’ health benefits more accessible to lower-income consumers.

 

Sweet Sunrise is a high-yielding cultivar that ripens in June. It produces large, firm attractive fruit. Yields are comparable to, or higher than, those of other recent releases such as Charm, Valley Red, and Sweet Bliss or the industry standards Tillamook, Totem, and Hood. In all evaluations, Sweet Sunrise was rated excellent and comparable to Totem for commercial processors.

Finn also developed Columbia Star (U.S. patent applied for), a thornless, trailing blackberry cultivar from the same breeding program as Sweet Sunrise. Columbia Star was released in 2013 in cooperation with OAES. The new blackberry is a high-quality, high-yielding, machine-harvestable blackberry with firm, sweet fruit that when processed is similar in quality to, or better than, fruit from the industry standards Marion and Black Diamond.

Finn believes that both new berry cultivars will be good additions to the fresh and processed fruit markets.
