Origin & Breeding History: 'DrisRaspEighteen' originated from a controlled cross conducted between 'DrisRaspTwelve' (female parent) and 'DrisRaspThirteen' (male parent) in Santa Cruz County, California, USA in April 2013. A single seedling of 'DrisRaspEighteen' was selected in October 2015 based on yield and fruit flavour. 'DrisRaspEighteen' was further propagated by root cuttings from 2015 to2019 in Santa Cruz County, California, USA.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'DrisRaspEighteen' was conducted in Chilliwack, British Columbia during the 2022 growing season. Plants were transplanted in April 2021 into raised beds, covered with plastic mulch and irrigated with drip lines. The plots were arranged in a RCB design with four replicates. Each replicate consisted of 3 plants for a total of 12 plants of each variety. Plants were spaced approximately 90 centimetres apart within rows and 3 metres between rows. A total of 20 measurements were taken from each variety. Mean differences were significant at the 5% confidence probability level based on a paired Student`s t-test.
