Tree Raspberry Hararasp

Exceptional continuous cropping and a compact habit make this innovative Autumn-fruiting raspberry an outstanding choice for modern gardens and small spaces. Rubus idaeus Hararasp produces heavy yields of large, firm, conical berries with a superb sweet flavour and excellent juice content. Unlike traditional raspberries, its sturdy, self-supporting canes are virtually spine-free, making picking smooth and hassle-free. Demonstrating strong natural resistance to major cane diseases and root rot, it thrives in sunny borders or patio containers, fruiting reliably from late Summer right through to the first Autumn frosts.
