Abstract

New everbearing strawberry cultivars, ‘Natsuakari’ and ‘Dekoruju’ for summer and autumn production were registered in 2007. ‘Natsuakari’ was selected from hybrid seedlings between a female parent ‘Summerberry’ (everbearing) and a male parent ‘Kitanokagayaki’ (June-bearing). The fruits of ‘Natsuakari’ are very tasty and sweet. Its taste is superior to any other everbearing cultivars and is as good as high quality June-bearing cultivars. Its fruit shape is uniform and storability is high. The berry is suitable for strawberry cakes, and for fresh eating also. ‘Natsuakari’ is adapted not only to summer-autumn production but also to forcing culture. ‘Dekoruju’ was selected from hybrid seedlings between a female parent ‘Pajaro’ (June-bearing) and a male parent ‘Morioka No. 26’ (everbearing). Since the fruits of ‘Dekoruju’ are very firm, their storability is very high. The fruits are uniform, very shiny and tasty. The berry is suitable for strawberry cakes. ‘Dekoruju’ has field resistance to powdery mildew. It is adapted to summer-autumn production in cool climate regions. Seedlings of ‘Natsuakari’ and ‘Dekoruju’ are available from seed companies in Japan.
