Abstract
A new cultivar of Rubus idaeus hybrid plant, ‘emr 20172’, characterized by its attractive, pale red, bright blunt conical shaped fruit that is well displayed and easy to detach (even in the pink stage), excellent shipping properties and shelf-life that make an ideal variety for large-scale commercial production as a primocane fruiting cultivar, its moderately vigorous primocanes that are held erect with developed lateral branches, its pines and thorns that are not prominent enough to interfere with picking and/or pruning, its berries with excellent eating quality both at harvest and after shipping, its berries that are sweet, fairly aromatic, firm, and juicy with a good balance of sugar and acid, and its early to very early fruiting on primocanes in late summer to early autumn and is not suitable for double cropping.
