ABSTRACT:
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: The variety is botanically identified as
Rubus idaeus L.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar of raspberry plant was developed from the hybridization of the selection of ‘R652.1’ (an unpatented variety) as the seed parent with the selection ‘R709.1’ (an unpatented variety) as the pollen parent. The parents were crossed in 1997, whereafter fruit and seed were collected to produce seedlings for field planting in Watsonville, Calif. in 1997. The new cultivar was selected from these seedlings in 1998 for its attractive and large fruit with long pedicels. 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.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a new and distinct cultivar of red raspberry plant named ‘Driscoll Madonna’. The cultivar is botanically identified as
Rubus idaeus L
. The ‘Driscoll Madonna’ red raspberry plant produces a primocane crop which begins in early August and continues until early November. The floricane crop begins in late May and continues until mid to late July. The fruit of ‘Driscoll Madonna’ is notable for its consistent large size, uniform shape and long pedicels.
