Origin & Breeding History: 'Tihope' was bred and developed by the breeders, Stanislaw Pluta and Edward Zurawicz, both employed at the Instytut Ogrodnictwa (Research Institute of Horticulture), in Skierniewice, Poland. It originated from a cross conducted in 1991 at the Experimental Station in Dabrowice, Poland, between the variety 'Titania', as the female parent, and the breeding clone designated 'P9/11/14', as the male parent. Seedlings derived from the cross were planted in the field in the spring of 1992 and evaluated from 1994 to 1996. 'Tihope' was selected in 1996 for its plant growth and habit, high fruit productivity, large fruit size, fruit quality, disease resistance and suitability for mechanical harvesting. It was further tested from 1996 to 2008 at the Experimental Station in Dabrowice. 'Tihope' was first propagated asexually by hardwood stem cuttings in 2012, in Skierniewice, Poland.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Tihope' is based on the Report on Technical Examination, reference number RS 843, purchased from the Centralny Osrodek Badania Odmian Roslin Uprawnych, in Slupia Wielka, Poland. The trial was conducted by the Centralny Osrodek Badania Odmian Roslin Uprawnych, in Slupia Wielka, Poland, from 2010 to 2013.
