Cultivation

A very cold-hardy raspberry. Origin: Developed by Jim Fruth of Brambleberry Farm, Pequot Lakes, Minn., by purchasing about 40 L of black raspberry fruit from a zone 5 farmers market, freezing the still-wet extracted seeds at 34 °C, and planting the seed. Selected from a group of 30 seedlings that survived the following spring. Tree: Hardy in USDA zone 3. Has borne a crop after 42 °C. Berries firm; shippable; remain intact after 10 to 14 d when held between 1 and 6 °C. Resistant to most Rubus diseases. Responds well to foliar feeding. Tissue cultured plants available starting in Fall 2004, from Hartmann Plant Co., Lacota, Mich. Fruit: Berry size similar to Latham Red Raspberry. Bears in July and fruiting season is about three weeks.
