Rubus idaeus, fruit breeding, fruit quality, high yield, large fruit size 'Tulameen' (Fig. 1) is a new floricane-fruiting red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivar from the breeding program at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Vancouver, British Columbia (BC). 'Tulameen' produces high yields of exceptionally large fruit with excellent quality. Although the cultivar appears well suited to both processing and fresh market, it will be of particular interest for the latter since the harvest season begins relatively late and lasts longer than that of the widely grown Pacific Northwest (PNW) cultivars. Its seasonoverlaps that of several early primocane-fruiting cultivars. Thus, there is a greater chance of a continuous supply of fruit to meet freshmarket demands. 'Tulameen' is a BC native Indian word that translates as red earth. It is the name of a river in the interior of the province that has bluffs of red soil above it. The choice of the name is in keeping with the tradition of choosing appropriate BC native Indian words for cultivars developed by the breeding pro
