Rubus idaeus Willamette

Height: 0,6–0,8 m

A deciduous semi-shrub 1.5-2 m tall. Its white, loose flowers bloom from June to July. Since this is a summer variety, raspberries can be picked from July to August. The large, sweet, dark red fruits are perfect for eating fresh, as jam, liqueur or even frozen. They are rich in vitamin C, mineral acids and antioxidants. It likes a sunny or partially shaded spot and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Its water needs are high and it requires regular watering. In spring, once the danger of frost has passed, remove weakly developed canes as needed, and after harvest cut the two-year-old canes down to the ground. A support system is needed.
