Abstract: The present invention is a new and distinct spring bearing red raspberry cultivar named ‘Claudia’ (also tested as KCE-1), which is capable of consistantly producing large numbers of fruit in the spring midseason, the fruit being larger than that of the standard cultivars. The cultivar is characterized by moderate suckering ability, small red thorns and stiff upright canes which are slow to grow in the spring and quick to stop growth in the fall. These traits, along with native cold hardiness traits, has resulted in excellent winter survivability in ‘Claudia’ fruit grown in the northern U.S., east of the Rocky Mountains. Because of the slow growth of primocanes and the upright habit of the flowering trusses, fruit is usually not shaded and well presented during harvest.

Abstract: The present invention is a new and distinct spring bearing red raspberry cultivar named ‘Esta’ (also tested as GEL-114), which is capable of producing large numbers of fruit in the early spring season, the fruit being similar to that of the standard cultivars.

Because of the rapid growth of primocanes, fruit is usually shaded during harvest and fruit rot can occur if the primocane canopy is not separated from the fruiting canopy.
