This U.C. cross between Selva and Douglas was released for public use in 1990. Seascape was bred for tolerance to many of the common viral diseases in California, but has demonstrated susceptibility to common leaf spot. Seascape fruit is large, with an attractive glossy finish. Seascape is not as firm as selva and needs to be picked on a tighter schedule. Seascape also has flexibility in planting requirements.
Selva works well in both winter and frigo plantings.
Fresh plants work best when given supplemental cold storage. Selva fruit is very firm but with poor flavor. It initiates production somewhat later than the others and produces large quantities of fall fruit. It also has the broadest environmental tolerance is more resistant to mildew than Selva, and is especially tolerant to spider mites. Flavor is very good.
