Black raspberry

About Black raspberry

Black raspberry is a delightful native plant that gives back to your garden all season long. The delicate white flowers arrive in spring and attract bees and butterflies. Come summer, you'll harvest glossy black berries that taste wonderful fresh, baked in pies, or made into jam. Birds love them too, so you'll enjoy watching cardinals and robins visit your patch. The whole plant has a nice wild charm that feels right at home in any yard.

Growing black raspberry is wonderfully simple. This perennial subshrub likes a sunny spot with decent soil and regular water during dry spells. Once established, it's quite hardy and asks for little fussing. A light trim after harvest keeps plants tidy. You'll be amazed at how quickly your plants settle in and start producing. Within a couple of years, you'll have fresh berries and the satisfaction of growing something native and nourishing.
