Interpretive Summary: ‘Cascade Bounty’ is a new floricane fruiting red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) jointly released by Washington State University, Oregon State University, University of Idaho, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agriculture Research Service. 'Cascade Bounty' has been evaluated and performed well in western Washington and Oregon. ‘Cascade Bounty’ has been noted for high levels of root rot tolerance and high yields of mid to late season fruit on sites with severe root rot infestations. The fruit is tart, bright colored, medium sized and rounded in shape. The fruit of ‘Cascade Bounty’ machine harvests well, but the fruit does not appear to have sufficient cohesion to be suitable for individually quick frozen uses. ‘Cascade Bounty’ is recommended for machine harvesting for processing uses.

Technical Abstract: ‘Cascade Bounty’ is a new floricane fruiting red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) jointly released by Washington State University (WSU), Oregon State University, University of Idaho, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agriculture Research Service. ‘Cascade Bounty’ was selected from a cross of Chief and WSU 984 made in 1992 at WSU Puyallup Research and Extension Center. The seedlings from the crosses that year were planted in a field with high levels of root rot. As a seedling, ‘Cascade Bounty’ was very vigorous and productive. It was selected in 1995 and evaluated as WSU 1162. 'Cascade Bounty' has been evaluated and performed well in western Washington and Oregon. ‘Cascade Bounty’ has been noted for high levels of root rot tolerance and high yields of mid to late season fruit on sites with severe root rot infestations. The fruit is tart, bright colored, medium sized and rounded in shape. The fruit of ‘Cascade Bounty’ machine harvests well, but the fruit does not appear to have sufficient cohesion to be suitable for individually quick frozen uses. ‘Cascade Bounty’ is recommended for machine harvesting for processing uses.
