Description
Impressive production! Two crops of high quality black raspberries per season! No longer are black raspberries just a spring/early summer treat! ‘Niwot’ is one of the first primocane black raspberries, meaning it bears fruit on the new seasons canes, not just the 1 year old canes like most black raspberries. You therefore get a spring crop in June AND they resume bearing again in August until frost. WOW! Just keeps going with delicious black raspberry production! This substantially increases the yields of black raspberries! High quality, large sweet berries similar to ‘Jewel’; ripen 1 week before ‘Jewel’. Very cool new berry cultivar sure to please black raspberry fans! Patented selection.
Black raspberries are one of the earliest fruits of the season, ripening in early-mid June (in KY), coinciding with mulberries and early blackberries. Black raspberries have over 3x the antioxidant power of blueberries!
