Narrative

The new white seedless table grape cultivar, Princess, formerly tested as C45-59, provides a white seedless that ripens in the mid-season and has naturally large berries. Princess is an mid-season white seedless grape which ripens at the end of Thompson Seedless season, about the third week of August in Fresno. The clusters are medium to large in size (0.7 to 1.2 pounds) and length. They are conical with shoulders, and are loosely to well filled. The berries are naturally large, averaging 5 to 6 grams. In one trial, berries from a girdled only treatment averaged 6.0 grams, 26.4 mm diameter, and 19.3 mm long compared to commercial Thompson Seedless which averaged 5.3 grams, 26.4 mm diameter, and 17.9 mm long. Princess responds to gibberellic acid (GA) at bloom and berry set. However it is more sensitive than Thompson Seedless and rates less than required for Thompson Seedless will give adequate thinning and berry enlargement without crop reduction the following year. The application of 20 ppm GA and a girdle at berry set has increased berry size by 1 gram. The flavor is sweet with a slight muscat flavor when the fruit is very ripe and exposed to light. The skin of Princess is medium thick, medium tough, and adheres to the flesh. The fruit holds well on the vine and in storage. The berries contain 1 to 2 aborted seeds which are very small and unnoticeable. There is some variability of berry maturity within the cluster which evens out when the cluster reaches full maturity. Princess blooms 1 to 2 days before Thompson Seedless and is vigorous in growth. A large trellis may be advantageous for managing the vigor and light penetration for good production. Production is good when cane pruned.
