DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(8) ‘Yoli’ (a.k.a. ‘104522’)

(9) This invention relates to a new and distinctive day-neutral type cultivar designated as ‘Yoli’. It is primarily adapted to the climate and growing conditions of the central coast of California. This region provides the necessary temperatures required for it to produce a strong vigorous plant and to remain in fruit production from March through October. The nearby Pacific Ocean provides the needed humidity and moderate day temperatures and evening chilling to maintain fruit quality for the production months.

(10) The following traits in combination distinguish strawberry variety ‘Yoli’ from the known strawberry varieties. Plants for the botanical measurements in the present application were grown as annuals. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.

(11) ‘Yoli’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions, and the phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment.

(13) When ‘Yoli’ is compared to ‘Seascape’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 07,614), ‘Yoli’ has a margin of terminal leaflet that is serrate, while the margin of the terminal leaflet of ‘Seascape’ is crenate. In addition, the leaf glossiness of ‘Yoli’ ranges from medium to strong, while the leaf glossiness of ‘Seascape’ is medium. The number of leaflets of ‘Yoli’ is 62, while the number of leaflets of ‘Seascape’ is 49. ‘Yoli’ also has a smaller fruit, higher yield when compared to ‘Seascape’, and the flowers of ‘Yoli’ are always presenting above foliage.
