Abstract
In the past, sales of PYO berry fruit have been a small adjunct to much more important wholesale fresh or processing outlets.
The relatively low importance of PYO sales in the overall industry meant that effort to select cultivars which were particularly well suited to such a market could not be justified.
It is argued in this paper that there have been important changes in berry fruit purchasing patterns in recent years that warrant a re-evaluation of this position.
The advanced selections in breeding programs aimed at other sectors of the industry should be reviewed with PYO production in mind.
Key selection criteria for PYO varieties are listed, and where these differ markedly from other Rubus are discussed in more detail.
