The first fruits can be large and\u00a0<wbr \/>somewhat chunky. The following fruits are long\u00a0<wbr \/>conical and uniform. The fruit has an intense red to deep red colour and an\u00a0<wbr \/>attractive gloss. Particularly the fruit size is good towards the second half of the season and higher fruit weights can be\u00a0<wbr \/>expected compared to\u00a0<wbr \/>varieties such as Clery and\u00a0<wbr \/>Magnum. Verdi is characterised by its juicy\u00a0<wbr \/>texture and high brix levels.\u00a0<wbr \/>Its distinct aroma makes\u00a0<wbr \/>Verdi well-suited for direct sales and short sales\u00a0<wbr \/>channels. The fruits\u2019 shelf\u00a0<wbr \/>life is good, and taste and\u00a0<wbr \/>texture remain relatively\u00a0<wbr \/>unaffected, although a slight\u00a0<wbr \/>post-harvest colouring may\u00a0<wbr \/>occur. A picking interval of two to three days is\u00a0<wbr \/>normal and recommended to\u00a0<wbr \/>optimise fruit quality.<\/span><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;plant growth habit&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Plant growth habit<\/h3>\n<p>Plants of Verdi are healthy, resilient and\u00a0<wbr \/>well-balanced. The plant architecture is open which makes the trusses clearly visible. The growth habit is compact, and the vegetative-generative balance remains optimal. The\u00a0<wbr \/>foliage is lime green and\u00a0<wbr \/>glossy. Flower trusses\u00a0<wbr \/>typically have seven to eight\u00a0<wbr \/>flowers which normally remain\u00a0<wbr \/>under the leaf canopy. Verdi is also relatively heat tolerant and able to cope with periods of high temperatures.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Resistentie tegen ziekten en plagen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Cropping pattern<\/h3>\n<p>Upon the beginning of the harvest, production\u00a0<wbr \/>increases rapidly. Verdi has a longer harvest window\u00a0<wbr \/>compared to other varieties\u00a0<wbr \/>with steady production, due\u00a0<wbr \/>to the nice spread in the emergence of new flower trusses (Fig. 1). Therefore, fruit size stays relatively\u00a0<wbr \/>consistent (Table 1). The steadily high fruit weight in combination\u00a0<wbr \/>with the visibility of the\u00a0<wbr \/>fruit trusses results in a high picking performance.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fresh-forward.nl\/thumbnail\/inline\/827\/verdi-grafiek.jpg\" width=\"567\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Graph 1.
