Rubus idaeus 'Prelude' is an ultra-early variety that offers a first harvest in late spring, sometimes followed by a slight repeat in the fall. It produces medium-sized, glossy red fruits with sweet, aromatic flesh. Its upright growth habit, low-thorn canes, and good disease tolerance make it an excellent variety for gardeners wanting raspberries early in the season. 'Prelude' is also ideal as a complement to other varieties to spread out harvests.
