ABSTRACT:

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: The variety is botanically identified as
Fragaria×ananassa.
Variety denomination: The strawberry variety denomination is ‘Driscoll Jubilee’.
1. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new variety originated as a result of a controlled cross between the strawberry plants ‘50C130’ (unpatented variety) and ‘19A331’ (unpatented variety) in an ongoing breeding program, and was discovered as a seedling in Kent, England in 1999. The original seedling of the new cultivar was asexually propagated by stolons in a Nursery in Kent, England. Propagules were transplanted to a controlled breeding plot in Monterey, Calif., where the variety was identified and selected for further evaluation. ‘Driscoll Jubilee’ was subsequently asexually propagated and underwent further testing in Monterey, Calif. for one year. This propagation and testing has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein which characterize the new variety are fixed and retained true to type through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
2. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry named ‘Driscoll Jubilee.’ The variety is botanically identified as
Fragaria×ananassa.
The new variety is distinguished from other varieties by a number of characteristics as set forth in Tables 1-4.
3. COMPARISON TO SIMILAR VARIETIES
The varieties which we believe to be similar to ‘Driscoll Jubilee’ from those known to us are ‘Driscoll Camarillo’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,771) and ‘Driscoll Coronation’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/619,692). These are several characteristics of the new variety that are different from, or not possessed by ‘Driscoll Camarillo’ and ‘Driscoll Coronation’. The new variety has a smaller spread of plant, conic shaped fruit of greater length than width, thinner stolons, red and white internal fruit color, the shape of the base of the terminal leaflets is acute, and the inflorescence is beneath the foliage. The internal fruit color of ‘Driscoll Jubilee’ and ‘Driscoll Camarillo’ comprises a white color interspersed in a striped manner among the orange-red or red color described for each variety. Each color described for the internal fruit color of ‘Driscoll Camarillo’ and ‘Driscoll Jubilee’ is individually present in the internal fruit tissues. In contrast, the internal fruit color of ‘Driscoll Coronation’ is whitish.
‘Driscoll Jubilee’ is distinguished from its maternal parent ‘50C130’ by its smaller fruit size, firmer flesh, and its fully everbearing habit. ‘Driscoll Jubilee’ is distinguished from its paternal parent ‘19A331’ by its redder external fruit color, firmer flesh, and sweeter taste.
