Comments	This selection came to Foundation Plant Services around 1985 from the USDA/ARS grape breeding program at Fresno, California. The breeders were David Ramming and Ronald Tarailo. The original material underwent testing at FPS and was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 1999 after successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program. Crimson Seedless 01 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS to qualify for the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard. The treated material successfully completed testing in 2013 and will be planted at Russell Ranch as Crimson Seedless 01.1.
