The base of the lightsprout of 'Corinna' has sparse pubescence whereas that of 'Merida' has a medium density of pubescence. The lightsprout tip of 'Corinna' has a closed habit and is small in relation to the base while that of 'Merida' has an intermediate habit and is medium sized in relation to the base. The lightsprout of 'Corinna' has many root tips whereas that of 'Merida' has few root tips. The upper side of the leaf of 'Corinna' is medium green whereas that of 'Merida' is light green. The flower bud of 'Corinna' has a high extent of anthocyanin colouration whereas that of 'Merida' has a medium extent of anthocyanin colouration.

Origin & Breeding History: 'Corinna' originated from a cross between E 99/89/130, as the female parent, and B 02/254/36, as the male parent, conducted in 2006 in Ebstorf, Lower Saxony, Germany. 'Corinna' was selected in 2009 based on agronomic characteristics.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'Corinna' was conducted by Global Agri Services Inc. during the 2019 growing season in Drummond, New Brunswick. The trial consisted of a single, 21 metre long row per variety. Each row contained 70 plants spaced 0.3 metres apart with an inter-row spacing of 0.9 metres.
