A new and distinct floricane fruiting variety of red raspberry, named
`Moutere`, botanically identified as Rubus idaeus L. is described. The
new variety is distinguished from others by its early season high yields
of attractive, uniform sized, large, bright red berries. The plant
exhibits a semi spine-free upright growth habit, of strong vigor. The
fruit are suitable for consumption as early season high-grade fresh
berries and are very attractive when packaged for the fresh market. In
addition, the plant has displayed resistance to Raspberry Bushy Dwarf
Virus (RBDV) under New Zealand conditions.
