Origin & Breeding History: The development of 'Kakegawa S30' began with a hybridization made in 1997 at Sakata Seed Corporation's Kakegawa Breeding Station in Kakegawa, Japan. The male parent was a phenotypically fixed F3 selection from a cross between two breeding lines, 4UK-1 and P-1a, made in 1994. The female parent of 'Kakegawa S30' was an F5 selection known as 4-966-1a-1 from a dwarf multiflora white breeding gene pool. F1 seed was obtained from this cross in 1997. In the summer of 1998, 200 F1 plants were transplanted to a field in Salinas, California. Three lines were selected for further evaluation and from these one was finally selected in the summer of 1999 and named 'Kakegawa S30'.
Tests & Trials: Tests and trials for 'Kakegawa S30' were conducted at Ed Sobkowich Greenhouses Ltd., Grimsby, Ontario in the spring and early summer of 2000. The trials consisted of thirteen plants of each variety, grown in 10 cm pots. The pots were spaced in flats on 12.5 cm centres.
