Origin: in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, by H.A. Daubeny, Agr. Canada Res. Sta. BC 64-10-198 (Sumner × Carnival) × Skeena, cross made in 1974; selected in 1978; tested as BC 74-10-81, introd. in 1987. Tree: moderate yield; upright growth habit with long, strong fruiting laterals; primocanes numerous, erect, glabrous, and nonwaxy; purple spines largely restricted to basal portions; floricanes erect, reddish to yellow brown with basal cracking. Susceptible to cane Botrytis, cane spot and crown gall; some resistance to spur blight, root rot; slow to become infected by pollen transmission of raspberry bushy dwarf virus; resistant to the common strain of the North American aphid vector of the raspberry mosaic virus complex. Winter hardy in the Pacific Northwest. Fruit: large; conic; medium red, glossy; firm; drupelets numerous; high soluble solids; excellent fresh eating quality; suitable for processing; separates readily from receptacle and, thus, is wellsuited to machine harvesting; ripens several days later than Skeena and Willamette; some resistance to pre-and postharvest rots.
