Kerner [01]
Registration Status Registered
Source West Germany in 1977
Comments This selection was imported to Foundation Plant Services in 1977 from the Staatliche Lehr-und Versuchsanstalt fur Wein und Obstbau in Weinsberg, West Germany (USDA Plant Identification number 422379). The original plant material underwent heat treatment for 61 days. A vine later planted in the Classic Foundation Vineyard as a backup to the primary selection Kerner 01 was created by microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2004. That backup vine successfully completed testing to qualify it for planting in the Russell Ranch Vineyard where it was planted in 2012 as Kerner 01.1.
