Title: 'Double Delight' Red Raspberry
Author: C.G. Davidson

Abstract:
'Double Delight' is a primocans-fruiting (fall
bearing) red raspberry (Rubus idaeus ssp. strigosus
(L.) Michx.) cultivar, developed by the
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Morden
Research Centre (MRC) breeding program.
This new cultivar is specifically adapted to
colder prairie regions of Canada and northern
USA. 'Double Delight' typically begins fruiting
earlier than 'Redwing' or 'Heritage,' cultivars
generally considered too late for commercial
fall bearing production on the Canadian Prairies,
and approximately 10 days later than 'Red
River' a recent introduction from the MRC
program. 'Double Delight' is intended to diversify commercial raspberry production since relatively few cultivars are suitable for the harsh
prairie climates.
