About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You will discover ‚Golden Queen’, a yellow-fruited summer raspberry with a long history, distinguished by its exceptionally mild sweetness. The golden yellow, soft fruits ripen from mid-July and catch the eye on the plate, but because of their tenderness they are best enjoyed fresh rather than transported. As a summer raspberry it bears on last year's wood; you cut off the removed canes after harvest. It is a lovely addition beside the red varieties for those who especially enjoy mild flavors.

You will taste golden yellow, soft fruits with honey-like sweetness and almost no acidity, a mild contrast to classic red raspberries.
