'Winema' has a medium flowering profusion while it absent or very low for 'Norland'. 'Winema' has broad cylindrical light sprouts while they are ovoid for 'Norland'. The proportion of blue in anthocyanin colouration is moderate for 'Winema' while it is absent or low for 'Norland'.

Origin & Breeding History: 'Winema' was selected at Klamath Falls, Oregon, in 1989 from a cross between 'Redsen' and 'ND1196-2R'. The main selection criteria included colour, small tuber size, tuber uniformity, roundness/smoothness, marketable yield and overall performance relative to other leading red varieties.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Winema' were conducted in Drummond, New Brunswick in 2007. All entries were planted in single-row plots. Plots consisted of rows 22 metres long with 30 cm in row spacing between plants and spacing between rows of 91 cm. Measured characteristics were based on 10 measurements. Colour determinations were made using the 1986 RHS colour chart.
