OHIO'S TREASURE EVERBEARING BLACK RASPBERRY
Rubus idaeus
The only one of its kind, and available only from Hartmann's Farms. A planting of this new, exclusive ever-bearer will consistently produce harvests from early summer into late summer and right up to the first frost. These jewels are comparable in size to major cultivars, weighing 2 grams each and 1/2-3/4-inch in circumference.
They are nice and sweet; for consumers who have dietary restrictions, not acidic, perfect for eating fresh and for satisfying a summer-long fresh raspberry craving. These black raspberries are beautiful, and everbearing makes them even better.
The challenge of annual pruning can be solved by cutting back the thorny branches to ground level in the fall. New branches emerge in the spring. The brand new growth and blossoms will set the stage for harvest to resume in late August, lasting without interruption until the first frost. Each pant will yield several pounds of fruit over the season's duration. Zones 3-8.
