A single seedling was selected for commercialization and designated 'KLEPP16832' in May 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEPP16382' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number PEL 2716, purchased from the Bundessortenamt, Hannover, Germany where the trials were conducted in 2017.
