Raspberry plant variety named ‘NR7’

Abstract

A new and distinct floricane fruiting red raspberry, Rubus idaeus L., variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from the controlled pollination crossing of the raspberry varieties known as HR101 (not patented) and ‘Willamette’ (not patented). The new variety is distinguished from others by the dwarfing nature of the plant which tends to produce many canes that do not grow more than approximately 600 mm in height. The plant is not suited to commercial fruit production but is very suited to ornamental uses such as in the home garden and containers where it produces attractive foliage and edible raspberry fruit comparable in size to those of taller growing varieties.
