Narrative

'Explorer' was the result of my breeding improvement program for primocane-fruiting black raspberries using the original WS001 black raspberry wild selection as the source of the primocane-fruiting trait. (See NCGR Corvallis Rubus seed accession PI 618559.) In my breeding work, the trait has appeared to be a recessive trait.A patent for 'Explorer' was issued as U.S. Plant Patent #17,727. However, during evaluation trials, 'Explorer' was found to be not self-fruitful and to require an outside pollinator. 'Explorer' is therefore being abandoned as a possible commercial cultivar. The flaw was discovered after the patent had been issued. There will be no further commercialization efforts for this cultivar. (I am in the process of preparing a successor, self-fruitful selection for new trials.)Since I am abandoning 'Explorer', I am submitting the cultivar for your germplasm repository. Although 'Explorer' was (prematurely) patented, I am permitting you to freely distribute cloned material. -Peter H. Tallman October 5, 2009
