Purple raspberry 'Royalty'
FamilyRosaceae
Rubus idaeus ‘Royalty’, also known as ‘Royalty’ purple raspberry, is a deciduous fruit bush with an upright, slightly bushy habit, renowned for its large, dark purple fruits with a rich, sweet flavor. Resulting from a cross between red and black raspberries, it combines vigor, hardiness, and excellent productivity. Its discreet but melliferous white spring blossoms give way in summer to an abundant harvest of firm fruits, perfect for fresh consumption, jams, or desserts. Its bright green foliage adds interesting texture to the vegetable garden and fruit hedges. Rubus idaeus ‘Royalty’ thrives in fertile, well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to optimize fruiting. Easy to cultivate and cold-hardy, it is a wise choice for gourmet gardens and edible landscapes.
