Abstract
The invention relates to a new and distinct hybrid Rubus variety which has been named the Tummelberry.

The variety resembles the Tayberry in some respects, but differs from it in the flavor, size, shape and color of its fruit, in the season of ripening and in the intensity of red pigments present in the stems and leaves.
