I have planted some raspberry canes with this variety name. It is
described as "a new introduction". The name seems to me to be Finnish.
Or does anybody know better?

Michael Bell

It is a lovely raspberry, large fruit on long branches, but it does grow very
tall. I think mine would have topped 10' if I had not bent them over in a hoop.

I suppose it depends how you define new I have had mine for 4 years.

Is the flavour as good as they say? My comparator for
flavour in commercial varieties is Malling Leo, if you know that one, does
it compare?

I don't grow Malling Leo and I don't buy raspberries. even the best boughten
ones seem short on both taste and smell. I love the smell of fresh
raspberries:-). I compares favourably with Malling Admiral in fact Joan J is
probably the only one I grow that comes near it for taste and smell.
