A perennial hermaphrodite deciduous shrub. It grows 1.5-2.5m high.
A very late ripening floricane fruiting fresh market red raspberry adapted to the U.K. Origin: Horticultural Research International-East Malling, by Victoria Knight; Glen Ample × EM 5928/114; cross made 1992; selected1996; tested as 6512/50; introduced in 2002; European Union PBR. Tree: higher yielding than Tulameen and the same as Glen Ample; vigorous new canes, reasonably good habit; crops to base of cane; laterals fairly upright; moderately leafy with fruit slightly clumped at lateral tip; spines on new canes are not objectionable. Moderately resistant to cane Botrytis and to cane spot; susceptible to spur blight. resistant to strains 1 to 4 of the European vector of the raspberry mosaic virus complex, the aphid Amphorophora idaei; susceptible to a resistant-breaking isolate of raspberry bushy dwarf virus but slow to become infected; has not been tested for raspberry rot rot caused by Phytophthora fragariae var. rubi. Fruit: medium to large, relatively uniform size; blunt conic to round; firm and cohesive; fairly good color; good flavor; releases easily from receptacle; good shelf life with greater firmness and less post harvest rot than Tulameen and with drupelets maintaining uniform color; ripens 10 to 14 d later than Tulameen and Glen Ample and season overlaps primocane fruiting varieties.
