ABSTRACT:
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: The variety is botanically identified as
Rubus idaeus
L.
1. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar of raspberry plant was developed from the hybridization of the selection ‘M48.9’ (an unpatented variety) as the seed parent with the selection ‘Gloria’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,067) as the pollen parent. The parents were crossed in 1994, whereafter fruit and seed were collected to produce seedlings for field planting in Carpenteria, Calif. in 1995. The new cultivar was selected from these seedlings in 1995 for its excellent attractive firm fruit. The new cultivar has been asexually propagated by in vitro shoot tip culture, root sucker division and root cuttings at the Cassin Ranch in Santa Cruz County, Calif. and has been shown to maintain the desired and distinguishing characteristics after propagation over several generations.
2. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a new and distinct cultivar of red raspberry plant named ‘Driscoll Cardinal’. The cultivar is botanically identified as
Rubus idaeus
L. The ‘Driscoll Cardinal’ red raspberry plant produces a primocane crop which begins in mid-July and continues until mid-October. The floricane crop begins in mid-May and continues until mid-July. Both the primocane and floricane yields are high relative to other comparable varieties. The fruit of ‘Driscoll Cardinal’ is notably quite firm and very consistent with regard to its size and shape throughout its harvest period. The fruit of ‘Driscoll Cardinal’ separates easily from its receptacle.
