Raspberry 'Cowichan'
FamilyRosaceae
Rubus idaeus ‘Cowichan’ is an early summer raspberry known for its vigor and consistent harvest quality. This upright bushy raspberry develops robust canes that produce an abundance of bright red, large, firm, and very sweet fruits. Its summer fruiting, on canes from the previous year, ensures an early and generous harvest, ideal for fresh consumption, freezing, and processing. Its bright green foliage supports sustained growth and encourages pollinators in the vegetable garden. Suitable for row cultivation, structured fruit hedges, or edible beds, Rubus idaeus ‘Cowichan’ stands out for its high yield, good fruit retention, and reliable performance in cool climates.
