Origin & Breeding History: 'FC13-122' originated from a controlled cross between the varieties 'ZF06-050', as the female parent, and 'ZF06-013', as the male parent, made in 2010 in Lowell, Oregon, USA. 'FC13-122' was selected from the resulting progeny in 2013 based on yield, fruit size, firmness, colour, and storage quality. Additional propagation was conducted by softwood cuttings and further testing occurred in 2014.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'FC13-122' was conducted by Expert Agriculture Team Ltd., in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada during the 2022 growing season. One year old plants were transplanted in April 2021 into raised beds, covered with plastic and irrigated with drip lines. The plots were arranged in an RBC design with 4 replicates. Each replicate consisted of 3 plants for a total of 12 plants of each variety. Plants were spaced approximately 90 centimetres apart within rows with 3 metres between rows. Measurements were taken from 10 plants or parts of 10 plants of each variety. Mean differences were significant at the 5% confidence probability level based on a paired Student's t-test.
