Himbo Top® Primocane Red Raspberry Plant
Description
Grow one of the most productive berries in your garden. This plant will give you huge quantities of large, bright-red raspberries with high sugar content and an intoxicating aroma. Excellent for fresh eating, freezing or making desserts. Heavy crops require support. Not recommended for extremely hot, arid areas of the desert Southwest. Disease-resistant to phytophthora root rot. Cold-hardy. Fall-bearing (everbearing) primocane with a summer crop. Floricane berries ripen in July. Primocane berries ripen in September through frost. Self-pollinating. May be covered by USPP #19,512 or other patents.
Note: Do not plant Red, Gold or Purple raspberries within 75-100 feet of Black raspberries. Black raspberries may be more susceptible to viral diseases carried by aphids to and from nearby raspberry plants.
