Origin & Breeding History: 'Joly' originated from a controlled cross between two unreleased selections 'T2-6', as the female parent, and 'A20-17', as the male parent, which belong to the C.I.V. Consorzio Italiano Vivaisti Societa Consortile A.R.L. This cross was conducted in 2004 and took place in S. Giuseppe di Comacchio Ferrara, Emilia Romagna Region, Italy. The resulting progeny were tested from 2005 to 2010 in different areas of Europe with continental climates. 'Joly' was subsequently selected for the firmness of its fruit flesh.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'Joly' was conducted in a field at Novafruit Inc. in Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford, Quebec during the 2015 growing season. A minimum of twenty bareroot plants of each variety were planted in double row raised beds in early June of 2014. The raised beds were approximately 20 cm high and 70 cm wide and covered with black plastic. The plants were spaced 20 centimetres from each other in a staggered pattern and the rows were spaced 1.5 metres apart. The measured characteristics were based on 10 measurements.
