Family Rosaceae

Rubus idaeus ‘Gatineau’ is an early summer raspberry selected for its hardiness and productivity in northern climates. This upright, bushy raspberry develops vigorous stems bearing an abundance of light red, medium-sized, firm, juicy, and pleasantly sweet fruits. Its summer harvest, on the previous year's canes, ensures reliable production from the beginning of the season, ideal for fresh consumption, freezing, and jams. Its bright green foliage supports robust growth while promoting pollinator activity in the vegetable garden. Suitable for row cultivation, fruit hedges, or edible beds, Rubus idaeus ‘Gatineau’ is attractive for its cold resistance, consistent yield, and ease of maintenance.
