Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of crossing breeding lines FL 12.90-53 and FL 14.29-62. The plant belongs to the short-day group. The fruits are medium-sized, with white flesh and bright red seeds, acquiring a pink blush on the sunny side when ripe.

The taste profile is distinguished by sweetness, low acidity, and an aroma reminiscent of pineapple or apricot. The flesh texture is softer than that of red varieties. Yield is approximately 75% of standard red-fruited varieties, and the variety shows some susceptibility to fruit anthracnose.

The variety is intended for commercial cultivation as a niche product for retail and food service. It is suitable for long-distance transport and is also found under the trade names Pinkaboo and Berry De Blanc.
