A heavy-yielding Raspberry that sets dark red fruit in midseason, Willamette will delight you not only with its production but also its flavor and texture!
Developed in the Pacific Northwest, Willamette has been wildly popular for many years. It is simply superior on all fronts: production, taste, and succulence. These large, deep red berries are heavenly, and you will gobble down every single one if you don't stop yourself! They are wonderful canned, frozen, and otherwise preserved, but you may never experience this, because who can bear not to eat them right off the plant?!
Expect this upright, fast-growing berry to reach 6 to 10 feet high within a season or two. Prune it back for best yields, and offer support to its berry-laden canes. White blooms in spring precede the fruit. Zones 4-8.
