Anne Raspberry
Anne Raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Anne')
Anne Raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Anne') is a high-quality, everbearing yellow raspberry prized for its large fruit size, excellent flavor, and extended harvest season. This primocane-fruiting variety produces golden-yellow berries with rich, sweet taste and low acidity, making it one of the best yellow raspberries for fresh eating and desserts.
Distinctive Features
This upright, thorny shrub grows 4 to 5 feet tall and spreads moderately through suckering roots. Anne produces two crops per year�one on primocanes (first-year canes) in late summer and another on floricanes (second-year canes) in early summer. Berries are large, conical, and deep golden in color with a unique tropical-sweet flavor. Plants offer strong vigor and reliable productivity, especially in cooler regions.
