Another Raintree Nursery purchase made close to a decade ago, this is another favorite berry that ripens in June\/July, this is a variety of Rubus idaeus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This berry\u2019s canes are stiffer than the blackberry and tayberry canes and have a bluish white bloom that makes them easy to spot. The fruit appear in groups of about 7 or 9. A middle berry will ripen first, then the others will catch up over time. I like them so much straight from the cane that I\u2019ve never made any baked goods or preserves with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
