Wiki Draft

Newburgh is a red raspberry promoted in a 1937 northern fruit nursery catalog as a new, large, bright red, heavy cropping variety of excellent quality. The catalog presents it as a northern commercial raspberry, with reports from New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec. The available source does not give its parentage, breeder, or release date. [S1]

The source says Newburgh came from New York. By January 1934, Prof. Geo. L. Slate and Dr. W. H. Rankin of the New York Experiment Station said it had already proved outstanding in central and western New York. The same report noted excellent behavior in Ontario and as far north as Montreal, but warned that it might not suit the southern parts of the raspberry growing region. [S1]

The berries are described as very large, bright attractive red, and lighter than Latham. Slate and Rankin called them larger than those of any other sort, slightly coarse in appearance, and a little better than Latham in quality. The fruit is firm, rather dry, and resistant to crumbling, which made Newburgh useful for shipping and general market sale. [S1]

Newburgh ripens in midseason. At Geneva, New York, its season was reported with Chief, about five days earlier than Latham. Ohio records described it as ripening about with Latham or a few days earlier. Berry size was said to hold well through a long picking season. [S1]

The plants are described as vigorous, hardy, thrifty, productive, and good plant makers. The crop could be heavy enough to bend the canes to the ground. The fruit was borne in the open and could be picked readily. Disease notes are favorable: mosaic had not appeared in the Newburgh stock cited by the Fruit Testing Association, and Massachusetts and Ohio reports described the plants as vigorous and comparatively free from disease. [S1]

Hardiness is supported by catalog and trial language, not by a numbered zone. The Fruit Testing Association called the plants hardy. The cited reports place successful behavior in central and western New York, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec. This gives Newburgh clear northern raspberry context, though the source does not state a hardiness zone. [S1]

Newburgh appears in the catalog's red raspberry section with Latham and Chief. It was sold as one year standard plants and two year heavy plants. The Fruit Testing Association called it the most promising variety in its station collection and described it as the best red raspberry under cultivation in both bush and fruit. [S1]
