Organic Ruby Jewel Raspberries (Bundle of 3)

Description

Ruby Jewel Raspberries are a fantastic choice for home gardeners looking for a reliable and flavorful red raspberry variety. These vigorous plants thrive in USDA zones 4 through 9, adapting well to different climates while producing a generous harvest of sweet, ruby-red berries. Unlike many other raspberry varieties, Ruby Jewel Raspberries bear fruit on primocanes, meaning they produce berries on the current year’s growth. This unique characteristic extends the harvest season, allowing for a continuous supply of fresh raspberries from midsummer through early fall. Their rich, sweet flavor and firm texture make them ideal for fresh eating, adding to salads, or incorporating into various recipes. Additionally, these berries freeze well, preserving their delightful taste for months beyond the harvest season.
