This vigorous, upright deciduous shrub produces abundant sweet, firm, and aromatic red raspberries that are highly prized for fresh eating, preserves, and desserts. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. Recommended for USDA zones 4–8, it performs best in temperatures between 65–80°F, with optimal fruit production occurring in summer. Each plant can reach a mature height of 4–6 feet, with canes bearing white flowers followed by juicy, medium-large berries. It is moderately deer-resistant and does not exhibit notable fall color. This plant requires structural support for its canes and benefits from annual pruning for maintaining productivity.
