Royalty Purple Raspberry Bareroot
Species: Hybrid of Rubus idaeobatus and Rubus occidentalis
History:Â Royalty was bred at the Geneva Experiment Station in Geneva, New York as a cross between red and black raspberries. It was released in 1982 and is the most popular purple raspberry variety on the market for both its productivity and sweetness.Â
Why We Grow It:Â Royalty is an excellent summer-bearing variety, producing ample crops of large (some get an inch long!), purple berries that are very sweet. Purple raspberries are a unique hybrid which can be picked while a little unripe and still red for a classic raspberry flavour or when fully ripe and purple for a sweeter taste more akin to black raspberries. Steph is impressed with the quality, flavour, and long harvest window of this variety.
