Narrative

PINK CHAMPAGNE, tested as G-435, is a cross of G-132 x 290-1. G-132 is a cross of E-118 (Ashworth x Earliblue) x Bluecrop. 290-1 is a cross of Ashworth (a wild V. corymbosum selection from New York state) x Fla 61-7 [(Berkeley x (V. tenellum Ait. x V. ashei, cv. Callaway)) x (V. corymbosum x V. darrowi Camp)] (see attached pedigree, Figure 1). The cross that produced PINK CHAMPAGNE was made by A.D. Draper at Beltsville, MD. The seedling was selected in 1978 at the Atlantic Blueberry Company in Hammonton, New Jersey. The selection was subsequently evaluated by A.D. Draper between 1981 and 1984, and also evaluated at Michigan Blueberry Growers (MBG) Association test plots in Grand Junction, Michigan. Its general characteristics are early- to mid-season ripening, moderate to good yields, medium-sized fruit (1.3 g), dark pink fruit-color, good flavor, good scar, and good firmness. Fruit quality may be considered comparable to Bluecrop except for size; Bluecrop typically averages about 1.7 g per fruit. PINK CHAMPAGNE was considered second-early ripening in New Jersey, and midseason ripening in Michigan. The evaluations in Michigan, from 2001-2003, observed typical yields of 2.7 kg per bush, with an average first harvest date of July 25. Production was variable in New Jersey; this is probably related to the southern germplasm in the ancestry of PINK CHAMPAGNE, resulting in sporadic flower bud hardiness problems resulting from fluctuating late winter temperatures. In higher yielding years (productivity = 8), yields would be generally comparable to those of Bluecrop which had yields of 4 -5 kg per bush. Tables 1 and 2 list ratings and color data for PINK CHAMPAGNE; Figure 3 shows fruit of PINK CHAMPAGNE. The bush of PINK CHAMPAGNE is upright and typical of highbush (1.5 m high x 1.2 m wide). Summer foliage is deep green, turning to bright red in the fall. Winter-time twigs are burgundy in color. PINK CHAMPAGNE is recommended primarily for areas where northern highbush are typically grown, but southern germplasm in its ancestry suggests is may also be adapted to more southerly areas.
