This means that the company is now able to exclusively offer three new raspberry varieties to growers based in Morocco and Tunisia. These include the two primocane varieties Skye and Lewis as well as the low-chill floricane type Glen Mor. Both Morocco and Tunisia have excellent environments for the production of raspberries generally and these varieties have great potential to thrive there. The crop is now well-established in both locations, but there is further room for expansion through the use of improved varieties. The raspberry breeding programme at James Hutton has a globally renowned reputation for producing excellent quality varieties.
