Origin & Breeding History: 'Yohollister' originated from a controlled cross between the female parent 'Durban' and the male parent, 'YB-A1635'. The cross was made by the breeder, Mrs. Wendy Bergman, in February 2003, in Salinas, California, USA. A single seedling from the resultant progeny was selected in December 2003, in Fort Myers, Florida. 'Yohollister' was selected based on its uniform growth habit, desirable inflorescence form, floret colour, fast response time and suitability for year round production. Asexual reproduction of the variety by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Fort Myers, Florida, USA in March 2004.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Yohollister' were conducted in Leamington, Ontario, in the fall of 2009. Flowering trials were performed under greenhouse conditions similar to those used in commercial chrysanthemum production. Forty unrooted cuttings of both the candidate and reference variety were directly stuck into 15 cm pots, with 4 cuttings per pot, 10 pots per variety, planted on August 24, 2009. Plants were spaced 30 cm apart and pinched once prior to short day treatment. All plants had the center bud removed. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on November 6, 2009. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
