Narrative
'Variegated Cara Cara' (RRUT 19), which supposedly arose as a budsport of the 'Cara Cara' in the CCPP screenhouse, has unpigmented fruit which is different than the normal 'Cara Cara' fruit. During a visit in September, 2004, José Chaparro stated that all variegated 'Cara Cara' budsports had pigmented fruit. (He also stated that this meant that tree from which VI 540 was cut was not a 'Cara Cara' and that VI 540 was incorrectly identified. This is probably true.) When skepticism was expressed, he demonstrated in the CVC by finding several variegated sport which all had pigmented fruit. Therefore, Ottillia 'Toots' Bier collected budwood from behind a pigmented fruit on a variegated twig and delivered it for propagation/potential cleanup.

RRUT 194 is a different variegated sport of 'Cara Cara' that originated from a tree in the NCGRCD screenhouse. Both RRUT 194 and RCRC 4207 have been planted in the field and fruited. They are quite similar. Fruit on both accessions is (somewhat erratically) variegated with pink flesh. Size is small (typical of variegated accessions) and overall fruit quality does not appear to be high. Therefore, this is probably of interest mostly as a novelty or ornamental. (RR Krueger, 06/2010)

Tracy Kahn decided that she prefers RRUT 194. Therefore, RCRC 4207 is inactivated and RRUT 194 becomes the 'Variegated Cara Cara' of record. Rest in Peace. (R.R. Krueger, 2020-09-04)
