Dwarf Raspberry Yummy

A dwarf raspberry, just 50cm tall and wide, Rubus idaeus BonBonBerry Yummy® is a small cane-fruit which can be grown in a pot on a sunny balcony or patio. It is a primocane variety, producing fruit in its first year, and it has spineless canes, which makes picking easy. The leaves are a pleasant light green, and the plant flowers abundantly at midsummer. Lots of large, light red berries, sweet and juicy, are borne in July; the fruit is rich in health-giving antioxidants and anthocyanins. Dwarf raspberry Yummy is self-fertile, and needs little maintenance; simply cut fruited canes to the base in late winter.
