Raspberry bush 'Madawaska'
FamilyRosaceae
Rubus idaeus ‘Madawaska’, known as the ‘Madawaska’ red raspberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright, vigorous habit, particularly prized for its exceptional hardiness and consistent productivity. Selected for cold climates, this early variety produces an abundance of firm, sweet, and aromatic red fruits in summer, ideal for fresh consumption, freezing, and jams. Its discreet but melliferous white spring blossoms effectively attract pollinators and promote excellent fruiting. Its healthy, dense green foliage structures the vegetable garden or fruit hedges. Rubus idaeus ‘Madawaska’ prefers a sunny location and fertile, well-drained soil, with regular watering during the production period. Easy to cultivate and very cold-hardy, it is a reliable choice for northern gardens.
