Product Description

Grow black raspberries without the thicket of thorns! Strong, productive canes carry only lush leaves and the sweet, deep purple fruits. Bountiful crops ripen on self-fertile plants in mid-June to mid-July in most regions. Then, let the pain-free picking begin! No significant pests or diseases. Vase-shaped bushes reach 4-7 ft. high and 3-4 ft. wide. Potted. Zones 5-8.
