Title: Performance of Primocane-Fruiting Raspberries Grown in the Greenhouse
Authors: A. Dale, A. Gilley, and E.M. Kent
Abstract:
Seven cultivars of primocane-fruiting raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.) were grown for three years in a
greenhouse in Simcoe, Ontario.
Red raspberry cultivars 'Autumn Bliss,' 'Autumn Britten,' 'Caroline,'
'Heritage,' 'Polana,' and 'Summit,' and the yellow raspberry, 'Anne,' were compared for berry yield, fruit
quality, and earliness and consistency of fruiting.
Two types of propagules of 'Autumn Britten' were
used, tissue-cultured and vegetative, and these behaved similarly with the exception of fruiting consistency in the first harvest season. 'Polana' yielded the most, 'Autumn Britten' produced the largest
berries, and 'Summit' and 'Heritage' ranked highest for total fruit quality.
Early and consistent fruiting
patterns were exhibited by 'Polana,' 'Autumn Britten' and 'Summit.'
