Black Delicious

“Black Delicious” a new Black Raspberry

Rubus occidentallis

Black Delicioius was discovered by Natasha and Jared Sinkowski in Columbus, Ohio.  The fruits are medium in size, approximately 1/ 2 inch in diameter, an acceptable size for markets.  Deep black have good firmness with small seeds with a creamy textured flesh.  Flavors are intense and aromatic.  

  The fruits are easy to harvest because they are borne on the terminal ends of the stems.   Stems are erect and self – supporting during the 2 week fruiting season which occurs in early July in Ohio.  Zone 5 – 7.
