Canby Thornless Red Raspberry

This is a great spring blooming summer bearing raspberry that is great for eating and preserving.  It’s one of the few thornless raspberries which makes it a great choice for You Pick or families with younger children!   This self pollenating variety produces bright red berries on year old canes.  These do best in full sun but are very tolerant of light shade.  They do best in enriched garden soil that is moisture retentive but well-drained. Fall planting is the best idea, and mulch after a hard freeze.  Annual pruning is best for this variety.
