Description
Jewel Black Raspberry is a high-yielding, disease-resistant variety prized for its firm, glossy black fruit with exceptional sweetness. Producing abundant berries from late spring to early summer, this vigorous shrub offers a delicious harvest perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. With an upright, spreading habit, it features rich green foliage and fuzzy, compound leaves that remain vibrant throughout the growing season. While its berries attract birds, proper placement and netting can help protect your crop for a bountiful summer yield.
Reaching up to 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Jewel Black Raspberry thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It grows quickly and benefits from a structured pruning regimen—removing dead and two-year-old canes each spring promotes new growth and increased fruit production. This self-pollinating variety does not require a companion plant, making it an excellent choice for home gardens. With proper care, this robust and resilient shrub will reward you with flavorful, juicy berries for years to come.
