Variety Description
Varieties used for comparison: 'Vandalay' and 'Viva'
Summary: The plants of 'V84031' are self-fruitful whereas those of both reference varieties require cross pollination with other varieties to bear fruit. The plants of 'V84031' flower early in the season whereas those of 'Vandalay' flower very early and those of 'Viva' flower late. The petals of 'V84031' are broad obovate whereas those of 'Viva' are circular. The arrangement of the petals of 'V84031' are free whereas those of both reference varieties are intermediate between free and overlapping. The fruit of 'V84031' is large to very large whereas that of 'Viva' is medium to large. The fruit skin of 'V84031' is brown red whereas the skin of both reference varieties is red. The fruit flesh of 'V84031' is dark red whereas the flesh of 'Viva' is medium red.

Origin & Breeding History: 'V84031' originated as a single selection from the progeny of a self pollination of the variety 'Vandalay' made in 1984. The new variety was selected and tested at the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, in Vineland Station, Ontario. 'V84031' was selected for its early fruiting and its tendency to hang in the tree even after edible ripeness, which is condusive to staggered pickings.
Tests & Trials: The trial for 'V84031' was conducted outdoors during the summer of 2013 at the Univeristy of Guelph, Vineland and Innovation Centre in Vineland Station, Ontario. The trial consisted of 3 trees of 'V84031', 6 trees of 'Vandalay' and 2 trees of 'Viva' all of which were planted in 1979. There were an additional 3 trees of 'V84031' in the trial which were planted in 1997. All trees were planted in rows 6 metres apart with 7 metres between rows.
