A new and distinct variety of pear tree rootstock tree that exhibits resistance to Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri, no suckering, and is compatible with all pear varieties.

A new and distinct cultivar of Vaccinium plant named ‘TH-1093’, characterized by a combination of early to mid-season ripening and flowering; large berries with good flavor, firmness, and scar; and a medium chilling requirement of about 350 to 450 hours, or more, below about 45° F.

A new and distinct blackberry cultivar that originated from seed produced from a cross between the thorny primocane-fruiting maternal blackberry plant ORUS 4355-2 and the thornless primocane-fruiting paternal blackberry plant ‘Prime-Ark® Freedom’. ‘Thunderhead’ is the first primocane-fruiting blackberry variety released by the USDA-ARS breeding program in Oregon. This new blackberry cultivar can be distinguished by its exceptionally high plant vigor and yields of medium sized berries with high gloss, firmness, excellent flavor and fruit quality, and relatively small seed size. The berries are well suited for fresh eating, with good sweetness and gloss when picked firm, and low bitter notes. The new and distinct blackberry variety contains a genetic background derived from eastern U.S. germplasm and is expected to grow and is expected to perform well in most areas where primocane-fruiting blackberries are currently grown.

A new and distinct variety of pecan tree, denominated ‘Seneca’, having a compact tree shape that is late to break bud in the spring, ceases growth early in the autumn, a determinate pattern of growth that is freeze tolerant, early season production of high-quality nuts, cream-colored kernels, and pecan scab fungus (Venturia effusa) disease resistance.
