Origin & Breeding History: 'Cepuna' originated from a controlled cross between female parent variety 'Conférence' and male parent variety 'Doyenné d'Hiver'. The cross was conducted by the breeder in Angers, France in 1963. This variety was selected based on its productive bearing and attractive non-russeting fruit. 'Cepuna' was asexually reproduced by budding in 1974 in Angers, France.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Cepuna' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 4051779, purchased from the Groupe d'étude et de contrôle des variétés et des semences (GEVES) in Beaucouzé, France. The trials were conducted by Geves at the Institut national de la recherche agronomique in Beaucouzé, France from 2013 to 2017.
