This
summer red raspberry comes out of the combined breeding programs of
MD/NJ/VA/WI. It is a good-flavored, early-season variety whose large size
is similar to Titan's. Lauren is reported to have better resistance to Phytophthora root rot and 20% higher
yield than its parent, Titan. Responses
from growers who have tested Lauren indicate that they are pleased with the
large quantities of uniform, high-quality fruit and with its long fruiting
season. Lauren has shown moderate to good winter hardiness to date. We
suggest spacing plants 22" to 24" apart in a row.
