Cultivation

Origin: in Geneva, N.Y., by J. Sanford, K. Maloney, and J. Reich. Heritage × Titan. Cross made in 1980; selected in 1982; tested as NY114; introd. in 1988. U.S. plant patent 7067; assigned to Nourse Farms, South Deerfield, Mass. Fruit large; produced on primocanes; ripens several days later than Heritage in New York; conic; bright medium red; flavor rated similar to or slightly inferior to that of Heritage; ease of separation from receptacle can vary; susceptible to pre-and postharvest fruit rot. Tree: yields similar to Heritage; vigorous; numerous primocanes; somewhat spreading; green with some purple overlay; sharp, light purple spines distributed uniformly and sparsely. Susceptible to root rot, crown gall, and the North American aphid vector of the raspberry mosaic virus complex; in California, reported resistant to yellow rust and powdery mildew. Fruit:
