Abstract

This new variety ‘14-37-111’ is new and different because of its unusual shape, early ripening, very firm texture and very large berry size. It differs from other early ripening red grapes such as ‘Flame Seedless’ (not patented) in having an ovate berry shape and much larger berry. It differs from other later ripening red, seedless grapes such as ‘Crimson Seedless’ (not patented) due to its greater fruitfulness and much larger berry size following applications of exogenous gibberellic acid and trunk girdling.
