The Vintage Raspberry is a perfect garden raspberry with excellent, classic flavor you will love. It is a two-season bush, with berries in July and a big crop in September and October. You will get some berries the first summer, and after that more and more, harvesting 5 pounds per bush in fall. The delicious bright-red berries have the perfect blend of sweetness and tart that makes them always rated ‘excellent’ in berry trials. You will have garden-fresh berries to eat fresh, turn into purée, bake or preserve in jams, as you choose. This vigorous variety is easy to grow and it is free-standing, so it can be grown among your shrubs, or in a special area on wires if you prefer.
The Vintage Raspberry will give a big fall crop even in zone 4, and it grows well across all zones. Plant in full sun in rich, well-drained soil and water during summer. Cut to the ground the canes that carry the summer crop, as soon as they are harvested – that is all the work it takes to keep you bush neat and productive. Completely self-pollinating – no second variety needed.
