and Yellow Raspberry Plants |
Prelude:
Earliest of the summer bearing
reds. Majority of the crop ripens in late June and Early
July. Fruit is round, sized similar to Canby and
Killarney, and has a mild pleasant flavor. Productivity
on par or slightly greater than Canby. Ideally suited to
be “first to market” for U-Pick and farm market
operations. (Has immediately followed late season
strawberries in Upstate NY).
Hardy to Zone
5.

Boyne:
Very popular early season variety
ripening first two weeks in July. Fruit is round,
dark-red medium sized slightly smaller than Prelude,
possessing an aromatic quality. One of the most
consistent producers year after year with good yields
the norm. Boyne has a distinct moderately tart flavor.
Berries are easy picking and excellent for freezing.
Excellent over-wintering qualities.

Latham:
An old standard eastern cultivar
ripening mid-season in during the second and third weeks
in July. Vigorous plant with medium to small size fruit
with nice color, good firmness and flavor. Latham has an
extended harvest period. Tolerates several known viruses
with minimal effects. Excellent choice for home garden
or small farm market in colder climates.

Titan:
Largest fruited of available red
varieties. Fruit ripens second through fourth week in
July. This very productive cultivar has performed well
in the Northeast and in replicated trials in several
areas of the Northwest. Fruit is very large, conically
shaped, with a mild flavor. Attractive berry for
restaurant or specialty market sales. Titan has shown
susceptibility to *Phytophthora root rot and is
therefore not suited to wet or poorly drained soils, and
over-winters poorly on wet soils due to the Phytophthora
issue.
Hardy to Zone 5 with proper soil
selection.

Encore:
Unique in that it ripens the
majority of its fruit in late July and early August
(follows Titan). This variety is an excellent choice for
growers wishing to bridge the gap between traditional
summer fruiting reds and Heritage. Encore is very
productive (only slightly less so than Titan) with
conically shaped fruit processing a well-balanced
pleasantly mild flavor and excellent firmness. Encore
has outstandingly consistent large fruit size
through-out its harvest season; (fruit size does not
decrease with continued pickings). Moderate tolerance to
Phytophthora root rot.
Hardy to Zone 5.
