    Released in College Station, Texas, by J. Benton Storey, Texas Ag Exp Station in 1959. Second-generation selection resulting from Lawton x Nessberry; selected in 1950; 4n = 28 chromosomes.

    Nessberry is an amphidiploid second-generation selection from a cross between a wild dewberry and Brilliant red raspberry: Dewberry (Rubus rubrisetus) x American Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus subsp. strigosus)

    The berries are large, with size maintained longer during harvest than Lawton, maturing early. The harvest season is as long as 'Lawton' but longer than that of 'Humble'; outyields Humble and Lawton. Bush habit displaying greater vigor and less evidence of disease than Humble and Lawton; canes erect.
