ABSTRACT:
Genus and species:
Vitis vinifera.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new table grapevine ‘14-37-111’ is of
Vitis vinifera
parentage and resulted from a twenty year breeding program which had as its goal the development of an early-ripening, brightly colored, red, seedless table grape. The female, seed parent was an unnamed and unpatented plant resulting from a series of crosses involving ‘Hunisa’, ‘Flame Seedless’, ‘Emperor’, and ‘Thompson Seedless’. The male parent of the cross is an unnamed and unpatented, seedless grapevine resulting from a series of crosses involving ‘Emperor’, ‘Thompson Seedless’, ‘Muscat of Alexandria’, and ‘Calmeria’. The hybridization resulting in ‘14-37-111’ was made in 1993 near McFarland, Calif. The seedling was selected from a population of 47 seedlings of like parentage in 1996. It was then propagated by cuttings and grafting to variety ‘Freedom’ rootstock. This new variety has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations; and this novelty is firmly fixed.
The new grapevine variety, cultivar ‘14-37-111’ is similar to the seeded cultivar ‘Emperor’, from which it descends, but differs from it by being seedless, with traces that are not noticeable due to their small size and the crisp flesh of the berry. ‘14-37-111’s ripening period is much earlier in the year, ripening approximately 1 week later than cultivar ‘Flame Seedless’ (unpatented) at Delano, Calif. The present variety differs from ‘Flame Seedless’ by having an ovate berry shape and a having a much brighter red berry color and ripening about one week later than ‘Flame Seedless’. It differs from the cultivar ‘Crimson Seedless’ by having a much greater fruitfulness, yielding one or two clusters from spur-pruned vines, being less vigorous in its growth habit, and ripening about three weeks earlier at Delano, Calif.
