Rubus ursinus 'Meeker'

Red Raspberry

An excellent raspberry for home gardens, 'Meeker' produces very large red fruits on suckering stems from early to midsummer. The berries are particularly high in the anti-carcinogenic compound ellagic acid and are good for eating fresh or freezing. Resistant to root rot. The American red raspberry is an upright, deciduous, prickly shrub native to North America and Eurasia. It has been long cultivated for its juicy tasty red or yellow berries. Its many cultivars vary by fruit color, flavor, and harvest time. Plants produce canes that bear in their second year but also yield a first-year fall crop in the case of everbearing cultivars.

Rubus ursinus 'Marionberry'

Marionberry

Taste the jam from this berry once and you'll never forget it. The berries are large, bright black, and excellent flavored with an aromatic bouquet. Great for fresh eating, jams, preserves, ice creams and desserts. Ripens typically July 10 - August 10. Marionberries are a very popular, vigorous, trailing grower, generally producing only a few long canes which grow up to 20 feet. The spines are large and numerous, and fruiting laterals are long and strong, with many fruit of a very high quality, which many feel is superior to the Boysenberry. Their vibrant deep color packs a powerful nutritional punch that catapults Marionberries to the top of the antioxidant charts.

Rubus idaeus 'Amity'

Raspberry, Red 'Amity'

Ever bearing Variety - Large, firm, dark red berries with classic raspberry flavor and superior quality. Amity is good for shipping, freezing, and canning. More resistant to Root Rot and aphids and can take somewhat heavier soils than others. Amity involves two crops. One on the first year growth in the Fall (beginning in late August), and again the following June on the 2nd year old wood. Amity is a week or so earlier than Heritage but does not bear quite as heavily. Amity does not pick as well as Heritage because the berry sticks to the plug until quite ripe. We recommend Amity for the home gardener due to its excellent flavor, and Heritage to commercial growers and those desiring a heavier yield. These are large 2 yr old plants.
