Garden State Bulb Heritage Everbearing Red Raspberry is a favorite for its size, flavor, firmness and sweetness. This raspberry plant will grow in a variety of soil types, but prefers fertile soil. This ever bearer produces wave after wave of large, luscious dark red berries from summer until frost arrives. You can eat them fresh or they are excellent for jams, jellies, sauces, canning or freezing. Our raspberry plant (Rubus idaeus) comes as a bare root in a bag for planting and it is recommended to refer to your hardiness zone for best growing results. You can expect to see a handful of berries the first growing season and a greater yield the 2nd growing season, with plants typically reaching full production in 1 to 4 years.
