Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'Balandusbi' was conducted in a polyhouse during the spring and summer of 2020, at BioFlora Inc., in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 15 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 1 litre containers in April 2020. The observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants or 10 parts of plants of each variety on May 28, 2020. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
