In 2005, 'PremP009' was selected as a single plant from among a population of resulting seedlings, based on fruit colour, appearance, texture, flavour and shelf life.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'PremP009' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 4069894, purchased from the Groupe d'étude et de contrôle des variétés et des semences in Beaucouzé, France. The trials were conducted at the Institut national de la recherche agronomique in Beaucouzé, France from 2015 to 2019.
