About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A high yielding summer raspberry that was the commercial standard for a long time and delivers reliably in the home garden too. The medium sized, dark red fruits sit firmly but come away cleanly from the plug and are well suited to freezing and processing. As a summer raspberry it bears on last year's wood; you cut out the spent canes after the harvest. On wet soils it is prone to root rot, so plan for a free draining site.

Dark red, firm fruits with a balanced, slightly tart aroma, versatile in the kitchen and in the freezer.
