Rubus idaeus 'Souri', also known as 'Souri' red raspberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright and well-branched habit, selected for its hardiness and reliability in cold climates. A non-everbearing, mid-season variety, it offers an abundant and consistent production of well-colored fruits in summer. Its creamy white spring blossoms attract pollinators and promote uniform fruit set. Its dense green foliage supports sturdy canes suitable for row cultivation in the vegetable garden. Rubus idaeus 'Souri' prefers full sun exposure and fertile, well-drained soil for optimal yield. Resistant and productive, it is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a reliable variety adapted to northern regions.
