Family Rosaceae

Rubus idaeus ‘K-81’ is a hardy summer raspberry selected for its productivity and performance in cold climates. This upright, bushy raspberry develops vigorous canes bearing an abundance of bright red, medium to large-sized fruits that are firm and sweet. Harvested in early summer from the previous year's canes, it is suitable for fresh consumption, freezing, or processing. Its dense green foliage supports sustained growth and promotes pollinator activity in the garden. Ideal for rows in the vegetable garden, as a fruiting hedge, or in an edible bed, Rubus idaeus ‘K-81’ is appealing for its good cold resistance, reliable production, and ease of cultivation.
