A Seedless Table Grape Variety with High Quality and Large Berries,‘Sweet Dream’

‘Sweet Dream’(Vitis complex), a new triploid seedless grape cultivar, is developed from the grape breeding program at Gangwondo Agricultural Research and Extension Services in 2009. ‘Sweet Dream’ was obtained from a cross ‘Honey Black’(Vitis complex) and ‘Campbell Early’(Vitis labrusca), a diploid x tetraploid grape cultivar. Characteristics of fruits and vines in ‘Sweet Dream’ were observed from 2006 to 2008, and ‘Sweet Dream’ was finally selected in 2009. Its optimum harvest time in Chuncheon is September 11, 12 days later than ‘Campbell Early’. ‘Sweet Dream’ has strong vine vigor and moderate freezing tolerance, with no bud damage occurring during winter in Chuncheon. The average weight of a cluster is 440g, and its average soluble solids concentration is 16.4 °Brix. It is seedless and has larger fruit size and better fruit quality than ‘Campbell Early’. It, therefore, is expected that introduction of ‘Sweet Dream’ could contribute to the diversification and gentrification of Korean grape cultivars (Registration No. 4359).
