Description

Non suckering, well known, ancient cultivar sent to Koanga by a member in the South Island 10 years ago. The fruit is darker than Lake, and is ripe a little later and longer. The vines grow tall but can be tipped to keep down to 1m if tied to wires in loops. Must have old wood taken out each winter and all new vines tipped.

Black raspberries are reputed to be the most nutritious
