Abstract
A new and distinct red raspberry plant particularly characterized by its everbearing fruit habit by which fruit is borne on primocanes during the first year after planting and on primocanes and floricanes during subsequent years. The plant is also characterized by its thornlessness and high yields. Spring production on floricanes commences about May 10 and peaks during June and early July, about two weeks earlier than Willamette. Fall production peaks during September and early October and production is continuous from May until December. Yields exceed Willamette. The convex cupping of mature leaves is a most distinguishing characteristic of the plant.
