Origin & Breeding History: 'AAC Eden' (tested as 'K06-2') was selected on July 17, 2006 from a family of 96 seedlings from the cross 'Glen Ample' x 'K93-11'. The cross was conducted in the spring of 2002 in a greenhouse of the Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre (AFHRC). Seed was harvested from the resulting fruit and started in the greenhouse in spring 2003 and subsequently transplanted in the field in Sheffield Mills, Kings County, Nova Scotia in June 2003. 'AAC Eden' was selected based on fruit size, firmness and fruit flavour.
Tests & Trials: 'AAC Eden' was tested at the Atlantic Food and Agriculture Research Centre, Kentville, Nova Scotia during the summers of 2010 and 2011. The trials consisted of 4 replicates for 'AAC Eden' and 3 replicates for 'Glen Ample', planted in a row with a plant spacing of 0.5 metres between plants and spacing between rows of 3 metres.
