Parentage
13/10 originates from a cross between Joan Irene and Marcela.
Season
In Southern England the primocane crop starts in late-July and
continues until late October. A useful ‘double’ crop can also be
obtained in June from over-wintered canes.
Fruiting Characteristics
High yields of approximately 1.5kg per plant have been reported. The
fruit typically average 5g and hold their size well throughout the
season. The berries are well formed, long conic in shape, with a
firm, meaty and cohesive texture. Their colour is a medium red which
may darken when the fruits are over ripe. Berries have a sweet
flavour and shelf-life is excellent.
Pest & Disease Resistance
No serious pest and disease problems have been reported.
Plant Characteristics
The erect, spine-free plants are very easy to manage.
Potential Uses
13/10 is well suited for late-summer and autumn production in
open-field situations of temperate regions, for both commercial and
amateur markets.
