A very large-fruited, day-neutral cultivar adapted to summer or winter planting in Mediterranean environments similar to the central coast of California. Origin: at Univ. of California, Wolfskill Experimental Orchard, near Winters, Calif., by D.V. Shaw. Cal. 87.112-6 × Cal. 88.270-1; cross made in 1991; selected in 1992; tested as Cal 91.248-6 in 1993 and later as CN210. USPP 10435. Tree: day-neutral type producing fruit over an extended period in arid, subtropical climate; production pattern similar to Selva but less cyclic, produces more late-season fruit and is higher yielding than Selva or Seascape; compact plant with a relatively erect growth habit. Moderately susceptible to common leaf spot, verticillium wilt, Phytophthora cactorum and anthracnose crown rot; resistant to powdery mildew; good tolerance to twospotted mite (substantially better than Selva or Seascape); tolerant to viruses occurring in California. Fruit: much larger than Seascape and Selva, firmer than Seascape; fruit shape is a long rounded conic; percent cull fruit substantially lower than Selva or Seascape; external and internal color lighter than Selva and Seascape and very glossy; achenes yellow to red, even with the fruit or slightly indented; excellent flavor; fresh-market, processing, and home garden uses.
