Rubus idaeus ‘Red Mammoth’, known as ‘Red Mammoth’ red raspberry, is a deciduous fruit bush with an upright and vigorous habit, renowned for the exceptionally large size of its fruit. A non-everbearing, mid-season variety, it produces an abundant summer harvest of particularly large and attractive raspberries. Its creamy-white spring blossoms effectively attract pollinators and ensure reliable fruit set. Its dense green foliage supports robust canes that benefit from good support in intensive cultivation. Rubus idaeus ‘Red Mammoth’ prefers full sun exposure and fertile, rich, well-drained soil to optimize fruit size and quality. Ideal for fresh consumption and processing, it is suitable for gardeners looking for very large fruit.
