Abstract:
Black Butte, a cross between ORUS 830-4 x ORUS 728-3, is an early, firm, attractive and extremely large-fruited trailing blackberry for the fresh or pick-your-own markets. The fruit are cylindrical/long conic, with drupelets of consistent size and shape, which give the fruit a very uniform appearance. The fruit are firmer than Marion and as firm as Waldo and Kotata. The fruit have excellent texture although they are perceived as "seedier" than Marion. Black Butte has a good fresh flavour but lacks the strong aromatic components of Marion. When compared to Kotata, Marion, Rarui and Waldo, Black Butte had lower soluble solids than all the cv. The pH was slightly higher than Marion but there was no difference in titratable acidity among the cv. Black Butte was judged unacceptable as a processed product (puree, juice products or individually quick frozen), the primary negative characteristics being poor colour and development of "off flavours" in products made from frozen fruits.
