Raspberry Polana

A versatile and productive primocane (autumn Fruiting) raspberry, Raspberry Polana is a standout variety bred in Poland for its combination of excellent flavour and high yields. It produces medium to large, glossy red berries that are sweet with a delicate touch of tartness - ideal for fresh eating, desserts, jams and freezing. Polana has a small summer flush of fruit and and continues bearing fruit into late summer and early autumn, effectively bridging the gap between summer and autumn raspberries. Its vigorous but compact growth habit and winter hardiness make it suitable for home gardens and small‑scale production alike.
