Narrative

Pink Panda is a fifth backcross segregant from a cross of cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) by a red- to purple-colored European cinquefoil relative (Potentilla palustris). It was bred by Jack R. Ellis of Bourne End, England and patented in the United States under the name of 'Frel.' Ellis regarded the 'Frel' as essentially a strawberry. 'The present cultivar is designated Fragaria because it is a chromosome addition line of the cultivated strawberry and is 96% Fragaria.' with its pink flowers, continuous blooming (everbearing habit) and increased petal count coming from the Potentilla parent. Gene Galletta of the USDA Fruit Laboratory in Beltsville, MD became curious how the flower color of 'Pink Panda' would be inherited and crossed it to the late maturing red stele-resistant, white-flowered, strawberry, MDUS 4740. The resulting first generation progeny varied in flower color from white, white striped with pink, pastel pink, deep pink, to red. The deep set color was often concentrated around the mid-veins of the flower petals. - Gene Galletta, Advances in Strawberry Research, 1997. vol. 16:cover story.
