What Is An Raspberry Tree?

 Raspberries are perennial plants with stems that can last for two years each. Canes are spiny or smooth, and most do not bear fruit until the second year. The reed usually reaches 1.8 meters (6 feet) in height and has leaves with three or more leaflets, depending on the species or variety. The underside of the leaf is white to gray and usually hairy. The white to pink flowers have five petals and produce juicy red, purple or black (rarely orange, amber or yellowish). Unlike blackberries, the root of this fruit remains on the plant when picked. Although they are often called "berries," these berries are technically a collection of drupes (small drupes) that all contain the same seed.

3. Caroline Red:-  Early to mid-season Large fruits with rich flavour. It is hardy to zone . It is resistant to heat or drought. Phytophthora is less susceptible to root rot than its parents 'Heritage' and 'Autumn Fortune'.

4. Joan J Red:-  Early Spring Fruits are large and hard, contain little water, which ensures long life. Hardy to zone 4, there's more heat than anything else. The pressure comes out. The first harvest can be done twice, the next harvest can be done in mid-summer and autumn.

5.Himbo Top  Red:- Early to mid-season Large fruit with good flavour. It is hardy to zone. It is not heat resistant. It is very good for phytophthora root rot. Mulching during planting will help reduce the spread of disease. Since the resulting side branches are very long and the branches are very high, a good trellising system is needed.
