Abstract

The present invention is a new and distinct floricane fruiting red raspberry cultivar named ‘Georgia’, which is capable of producing large quantities of fruit much earlier than that of the worldwide standard floricane cultivars, ‘Glen Ample’ and ‘Tulameen’. The cultivar is characterized by its thornlessness and fruit with a slightly pileated drupelet. The fruit is also very symmetrical, light colored and round. Fruit aroma is very good and fruit firmness and sugar content is sufficient for shipping long distances.
