Red raspberry plant named ‘Finnberry’

Abstract

A new and distinct primocane-fruiting red raspberry cultivar that originated from seed produced from a cross between the primocane-fruiting red raspberry plant ‘Caroline’ and the red raspberry plant ORUS 4099-1, the latter of which is a sibling of the recent cultivar ‘Kokanee’. This new red raspberry cultivar can be distinguished by its high yields of bright colored, medium sized berries with low defects, excellent firmness and fruit quality, and a unique flavor that is both tangy and aromatic, with a good balance to tartness and sweetness. The berries are well suited for the fresh market, and, due to their ability to be picked at early/pink stages with good flavor and continue ripening in storage with respect to color, they may offer some additional benefit for packing/shipping as a fresh market variety.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of primocane-fruiting red raspberry plant named ‘Finnberry’, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its high yields of medium-to-large sized berries with excellent fresh market eating quality, firmness, flavor, and low fruit defects, and the ability to be picked at early/pink stages with good flavor and firmness.
