(Rubus idaeus) -Full Sun– thornless! Everbearing
Thornless, stout canes produce very large sweet berries. It is a primocane or “everbearing” type: will crop early summer and again in the fall if only the dead (second year) shoots are selectively pruned out every winter. Most market growers (including us) mow down the entire plant every winter, resulting in a heavier crop of high quality berries in the fall only. Red raspberries require a raised bed to thrive in our heavy clay. Plant 1’-2’ apart in row; will fill in row with suckers in a year or two. Does not need trellising. Self fertile.

(Rubus fruticosus) -Full Sun to Part Shade– Sweet, Trailing type, extremely vigorous
Trailing type, needs trellis. Our most productive (per plant) of the sweet thornless types. Large berries, fast growth, smaller seeds. Blackberries will tip root and give you many more plants if you fail to tie them to the trellis. Canes can grow 10’ or more but best to tip them at 4′-7′. Blooms very late so avoids the occasional freezes that can hurt the blossoms of earlier blackberries. Blackberries do well in almost any soil in our region. Mid to late-season ripening. Space 5’ apart in row. Self fertile.

(Amorpha fruiticosa) -Full to Part Sun– Native nitrogen fixing shrub up to 18′ tall, but can be coppiced
Amorpha fruiticosa is an attractive native wildflower shrub. It is a legume, and is often used in permaculture plantings as a nitrogen fixer – usually with the plan to coppice the bush (“chop & drop”) because it will reach a fairly substantial size if not chopped down frequently. 15-18′ tall and spreading up to twice that width. NOT edible, it’s practical benefits are mostly beauty, nitrogen fixing and soil stabilization, and it also has some potential as a natural insecticide. Fast growing, thornless.

(Rubus occidentalus) -Full Sun to Part Shade– sweet wild flavor, huge berries, early season
Early season. A time-tested variety which still holds the main spot in nursery catalogs, and for good reason. Black glossy berries about twice the size of wild black raspberries, twice the yield, and strong, anthracnose-resistant canes. Definitely needs trellising or you will wind up with tip-rooted plants everywhere! Has all the flavor of wild black raspberries—simply delectable! Canes can grow over 10’ long; best to tip at 5′. Space 2.5’ apart in row. Needs well drained soil or a raised bed. Self fertile.

(Rubus occidentalus) -Full Sun to Part Shade– mild flavor, huge berries, everbearing, vigorous grower
Produces a crop on last year’s canes at the same time as ‘Jewel’, and then another crop late summer on its current spring growth (like the everbearing or fall bearing red raspberries). Vines are very vigorous and productive, but the flavor is milder (read: less flavorful) than most black raspberries.

(Rubus odoratus) -Sun to shade– Native ornamental shrub with large single pink/purple flowers. Edible but tasteless berries (needs pollinator). Spreads by runners
Yellow raspberries have the same growth habit as reds. Plant 1’-2’ apart in row; will fill in row with suckers in a year or two. All raspberries dislike soggy roots; raised beds are a good strategy for the heavy clay soils in this region. Self fertile.
