Black raspberry 'Jewell'
FamilyRosaceae
Rubus idaeus ‘Jewell’, known as the 'Jewell' black raspberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright, vigorous habit, renowned for the exceptional quality of its dark fruits. Very hardy and productive, it stands out from red raspberries due to its richer and more complex flavor. Its white spring blossoms effectively attract pollinators, followed in summer by an abundant harvest. Its bright green foliage and arched stems provide a beautiful structural presence in the vegetable garden. Rubus idaeus ‘Jewell’ prefers a full sun location and fertile, well-drained soil to ensure optimal fruiting. Ideal for fresh consumption, jams, and desserts, it is an excellent choice for diversifying a fruit hedge with a variety of distinctive and sought-after taste.
