Abstract

The present invention is a new and distinct spring bearing red raspberry cultivar named "Emily', which is capable of producing highly cohesive and firm fruit in the spring midseason, the fruit being larger and more durable than that of the standard cultivars. The cultivar is characterized by moderate suckering ability, small red thorns and its large and elongate fruit which have a much narrower cavity than standard cultivars. Because of this trait, the fruit of "Emily' is structurally more sound than other cultivars.
