Origin & Breeding History: 'DrisBlackThirteen' was discovered in Santa Cruz County, California, USA in December 2009 originating from a cross conducted in April 2008 between two proprietary varieties, 'BP571' (female parent) and 'BP544' (male parent). The original seedling was first asexually propagated at a nursery in Santa Cruz County, California in 2009. Initial selection criteria included productivity, medium sized black fruit and selft-fruitful plants. 'DrisBlackThirteen' was further propagated by tissue culture and root cuttings and underwent testing at a nursery in Santa Cruz County, California from 2012 to 2014.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'DrisBlackThirteen' was conducted in Chilliwack, British Columbia during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. Each variety consisted of 3 replicates per variety with 3 plants per replicate for a total of 9 plants of each variety. Plants were spaced approximately 1 metre apart in the row. Measured characteristics were based on 10 measurements.
