A cross between a purple raspberry and a red raspberry. Features of both, coupling the large fruit size and plant vigor of a purple hybrid with the high fruit quality of a red raspberry. Fruit picked at the full red stage has the sweet light flavor of red raspberries. Outstanding for jelly or jam. Insect resistant. Suckers sparingly. Shows hardiness and is a superior substitute for Black Raspberry.
