Claims
We claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of raspberry plant named
`DrisRaspThree` as described and shown herein.
Description
Genus and species: Rubus idaeus L.
Variety denomination: `DrisRaspThree`.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention relates to a new and distinct raspberry
variety designated `DrisRaspThree` and botanically known as Rubus
idaeus L. This new raspberry variety was discovered in Santa Cruz,
Calif. in October 2003 and originated from a cross between the
proprietary female parent raspberry plant `X146.7` (unpatented) and
the proprietary male parent raspberry plant `S858.1` (unpatented).
The original seedling of the new variety was first asexually
propagated by tissue culture at a nursery in Santa Cruz, Calif.
`DrisRaspThree` was subsequently asexually propagated by root
cuttings and underwent further testing at a nursery in Santa Cruz,
Calif. for four years. The present invention has been found to be
stable and reproduce true to type through successive asexual
propagations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing
characteristics of this new variety when grown under normal
horticultural practices in Santa Cruz, Calif.: 1. High yield; 2.
Good flavor; and 3. Vigorous growth habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
This new raspberry plant is illustrated by the accompanying
photographs which show fruit of the plant as well as the
primocanes. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably
obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photographs
are of plants that are six months old.
FIG. 1 shows a section of a young cane with prickles.
FIG. 2 shows both the upper surface and the lower surface of the
plant leaves.
FIG. 3 shows close-up views of typical flowers and fruit at various
stages of development.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following description of `DrisRaspThree` is based on
observations taken from the 2005 to 2009 growing seasons in Santa
Cruz, Calif. This description is in accordance with UPOV
terminology. Color designations, color descriptions, and other
phenotypical descriptions may deviate from the stated values and
descriptions depending upon variation in environmental, seasonal,
climatic and cultural conditions. `DrisRaspThree` has not been
observed under all possible environmental conditions. Color
references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal
Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.), Fifth Edition (2007).
