This upright, bramble-forming plant produces medium to large bright red berries with excellent flavor, ripening in late summer to early fall. Recommended for USDA Hardiness Zones 6-9, it thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic pH. It prefers full sun and mild temperatures, tolerating minimal frost. While not known for its fall foliage color, the plant is admired for its consistent fruit output and resistance to common diseases. The mature height typically ranges from 4 to 6 feet, and it has strong canes that require minimal support. Highly attractive to pollinators, this plant is not usually deer-resistant, so protection may be necessary. Excellent for fresh eating, preserving, and baking, this plant combines aesthetic appeal with productivity in the garden.
