  • Patent number: PP31447
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘SV31-16-10’ particularly characterized by natural berries which are ellipsoidal in shape, seedless, reddish black to black skinned berries which are medium large, sweet, with a neutral flavor and which have thin skins and crisp texture.

  • Patent number: PP34882
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘SV35-182-213’ particularly characterized by its large, crisp, sweet berries with muscat flavor. The natural cluster size is medium, eliminating the need to hand trim the clusters. The vines are very responsive to exogenous gibberellic acid application and trunk girdling and produce berries which are about 30% larger than natural size. Vines are fruitful when spur pruned to two buds per cane with new shoots producing one or two clusters per shoot.

  • Patent number: PP35003
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘SV35-182-214’ particularly characterized by medium sized clusters of green skinned berries which are large, crisp, and sweet with muscat flavor. The vines are very responsive to exogenous gibberellic acid application and trunk girdling which induces a size increase of the berries more than double the natural size. Vines are fruitful when spur pruned to two buds per cane with new shoots producing one or two clusters per shoot.
