A new raspberry variety, with exceptional fruit quality and high productivity, was presented at the Scottish Society for Crop Research and Bulrush Soft Fruit Information Day and Winter Meeting 2018.

The new rasp, named Glen Carron, was bred in Dundee by the James Hutton Institute’s commercial subsidiary, James Hutton Limited, funded by a Consortium consisting of the Scottish Government, AHDB and companies from the EU raspberry industry.
