New varieties

Bred by Kraege Züchtung, Aylin (5/C9/8/3) is a very high-yielding variety which crops over a similar period to Sonsation. The attractive bright red fruit are uniform in shape and make a very appealing punnet. Flavour is good, with a very high yield potential.
The Aylin (5/C9/8/3) variety is very suited to use as a tray plant for tabletop production systems. There it convinced with extremly high yields, so it is highly recommended for producers growing for retail.
In previous variety trials (5/C9/8/3) was often called Claudia. To avoid confusion with similar-sounding varieties, the breeder decided to change the variety name to “Aylin”

Jenkka (FE2122) is a medium early variety from Fresh Forward‘s breeding program which crops over a similar period to Sonata/Polka.
Jenkka is a productive variety with very good flavour. The fruits are red to dark red and uniformly conical, with a high proportion of class 1 fruits. Fruit firmness is medium rather than firm.
The breeder recommends exercising restraint with respect to nitrogen fertilisation. Attention should be paid to mildew and phytophthora.
Jenkka is particularly suitable for direct marketing and local trade channels.

Fresh Forward’s breeding programme has come up with a new late variety called Cadenza (FE2134). This variety crops about 1 week before Malwina.
Cadenza has achieved promising trial results, proving to be a robust plant with very high yields and good shelf life.
The large, very firm fruit are bright red, glossy and conical in shape, and make a very attractive punnet.
The high proportion of class 1 fruit ensures good picking speeds.
Cadenza is a rather more compact plant. The breeder recommends planting at intervals of 40–45 cm within the row. Cadenza is suitable for both retail and direct sales.

Malling Ace is a new everbearing variety from the East Malling (Bayer) breeding program. It is noted for its uniform, large, attractive, medium red fruit.
The flavour is good, with high yields.
It is very mildew prone!
