| 0 | PI 653103 | 'Anne' | Rubus idaeus L. subsp. idaeus | Maryland, United States | COR |  | Not Available | 2006 | DEVELOPED | | | | | | Cultivar | The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar, including fruit production, together with the cultivar's morphological characteristics. The characteristics of the cultivar are compared to the standard used in the area: `Hertiage`. This description is based on information provided by cooperating scientists from plants grown in fields at Queenstown, Md., Cream Ridge, N.J., Blackstone, Va. and River Falls, Wis., Rock Hall, Pa., and from plants grown in the greenhouse at College Park. JEF-b1 produces a moderate number of root- and crown-suckers. During the growing season, canes are light green colored, usually unbranched, semi-erect and moderately vigorous. Thorns are sparse, green, thin and usually less than 2 mm in length (see FIG. 3). Leaves have a R.H.S. (Royal Horticultural Society of London) Colour Chart number of 22A, are trifoliolate, and pentafoliolate on vigorous primocanes. Leaf serration is more complex than other eastern american raspberries, and is similar to `Glen Gerry`, a parent. `Glen Gerry` does not produce fall fruit and is thornless. Tips or serrations of JEF-b1 leaves form more acute angles than those on leaves of `Heritage` and other fall bearing cultivars. JEF-b1 leaf color is dark green. Fruit is borne on the top of the primocane in the fall season or from lateral buds at the base of winter canes. Fruit trusses are cymose clusters. Flowers are perfect and indistinguishable from other raspberry cultivars. Fruit are light yellow in color, having R.H.S. Color Chart number 143A, firm, large, and very symmetrical. Druplets are held together tightly, and druplets will often tear before they separate from their neighbors. Fruit is round-conic, has an even collar, and readily separates from its torus as do other raspberries. The cavity width is slightly smaller than in other cultivars. Fruit has a mild-sweet flavor with a banana-aromatic flavor developing in cooler climates. The plant is field resistant to many common pests and diseases in the eastern United States, e.g. mildew, anthracnose, leaf rust, and verticillium wilt. The plants' reaction to Phytophthora fragarae root rot is probably moderately resistant. Fruit is only moderately resistant to rot. Fruit Production JEF-b1 has been tested in a replicated trial in Cream Ridge, N.J., and in Rock Hall, Pa. The following data were collected in the summer/fall of 1994 and 1995. Early yield refers to fruit picked before Sep. 1, 1994.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a new and distinct asexually--reproduced variety of fall-bearing yellow raspberry, Rubus idaeus, known as `Kiwigold` which is exceptional for its cohesive, well-formed fruit of yellow color when ripe. ORIGIN This new cultivar was discovered by Chris Thomas, on his farm on Horrell Road, Morrinsville, New Zealand. The original plant was a sport found within a commercial planting of `Heritage` in March 1985 and was a naturally occurring whole plant mutation. The `Heritage` crop was planted in August 1983 with dormant rooted canes taken from a nearby commercial planting. No other yellow fruiting plants had been seen in this field which was removed in 1987. PROPAGATION The original cane was marked and dug out when dormant to be planted in the home garden for observation. The next summer (1986) it produced many suckers and some of these fruited and appeared true to type of the original. Subsequently, suckers and the mother cane were planted in another area of the garden, isolated from `Heritage` for multiplication. In July 1988, enough planting material was available to plant out a cropping row and subsequently the area planted has been expanded to the present 2 acres. Plants are also being established for testing in the USA (Massachusetts) area, Scotland and England. | 1556085 | PI 657878 |

Yellow-fruited, primocane-fruiting sport of Heritage. U.S. plant patent 7625; assigned to Nourse Farms, South Deerfield, Massachusetts. Fruit: similar fruit firmness, flavor, and overall performance to Heritage; unique gold color is deeper yellow than other yellow-fruited raspberries. Plant: fruiting habit similar to Heritage; primocane production is more abundant than Heritage.`Graton Gold` was discovered on my farm in Sebastopol, Sonoma County, Calif., in 1987. From a field of raspberries of the `Heritage` variety which had been planted in March 1985, I noticed occasional yellow berries appearing in the production from this field. The `Heritage` plants were obtained from the certified nursery in Oregon, which does not propagate yellow raspberries. The cane bearing the yellow fruit which I observed was marked to identify it. In the following season four canes grew in the same place which had produced this yellow fruit. In the winter of 1988/89 the plant was dug up and was asexually reproduced by root division. Five new plants were propagated and each of the five plants were true to the mother plant and produced yellow fruit on the primocanes in the summer of 1989.
