Family Rosaceae

Rubus idaeus ‘Glencoe’ is a thornless purple raspberry known for its uniqueness and high ornamental value. This compact, bushy raspberry produces dark purple, almost violet, medium-sized, firm, juicy, and intensely aromatic fruits. Its summer fruiting, on the previous year's canes, offers an abundant harvest ideal for fresh consumption, jams, and colorful desserts. Its dense green foliage contrasts with the unique color of the fruits and attracts pollinators to the vegetable garden. Suitable for small gardens, fruit hedges, or cultivation in large containers, Rubus idaeus ‘Glencoe’ is appealing for its lack of thorns, ease of harvesting, and its decorative as well as gourmet appeal.
