EasyRose® - ALE101 is a new primocane raspberry variety selected by Lucchini Berries to offer high performance in various soil and climate conditions.
"It is in its third year of cultivation: in 2025 it is being grown on 1.5 hectares on our farm in Verona and on several hectares across Europe and Morocco," breeder Alessandro Lucchini told Italian Berries.
"It stands out for offering multiple cultivation opportunities, performing particularly well in the primocane cycle, but still interesting in the second uniflorous production cycle and again very promising in a possible third cycle."
Plant characteristics
The plant's growth habit is characterized by a robust and upright structure with strong lateral branching.
This allows for a low planting density (2–3 plants per linear meter), supporting efficient management and good canopy ventilation.
Fruit characteristics
The fruit features include:
- large size maintained across all harvests, with a light pink color (EasyRose®) even when fully ripe
- dry, firm texture, resistant to handling
- sweet flavor, highly appreciated in various panel tests
Adaptability and yield potential
According to Alessandro Lucchini, "EasyRose® is particularly suited to mild and Mediterranean climates, but it has also shown excellent adaptability to higher latitudes, offering productive flexibility in different contexts. It has been included in the Easy varieties group for its extreme ease of harvesting and cultivation."
The combination of vegetative vigor, fruit quality, and yield potential across two cycles makes EasyRose® a promising variety for those aiming for consistent yields and good shelf life.
