PURPLE DREAM RASPBERRY

Rubus Odoratus

The plants of this new Purple Dream Raspberry have high vigor. It is recommended to train the vigorous stems on a wire trellis to support the huge fruit load. Plants are capable of yielding 4 to 6 pounds of fruit during the mid-summer season.

The fruits have strong raspberry aromas, with high sugar and a hint of acidity. The stems are thorny, but small, 1-2 mm in length. The attractive light purple, medium-size fruits are of favorable quality for local markets and U-Pick operations. The Purple Dream Raspberry is sold in a 2 1\2 inch container.  USDA Hardiness Zones 3–7.

Grow Guide

PLANT USES: These plants are used mostly as a fruit crop. The black berries have a distinctly strong Raspberry flavor. The purple berries taste similar to most red cultivars. Fruits can be eaten fresh or in pies, marmalades or juice.
WATER REQUIREMENTS: When the plants are newly planted keep the soil moist the first year. Usually once the roots are well established they are hardy and will find water. It is good to apply water to attain the best fruit crops and growth year after year.
FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS: Use medium rate non acid fertilizer.
