Family Rosaceae

Rubus idaeus ‘Steadfast’, known as the ‘Steadfast’ red raspberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright, vigorous habit, recognized for its remarkable hardiness and reliability in northern climates. A mid-season, single-cropping variety, it produces an abundant and consistent harvest of well-formed fruit in summer. Its creamy-white spring blossoms effectively attract pollinators and ensure stable fruit set. Its dense green foliage supports robust canes suitable for row cultivation or fruit hedges. Rubus idaeus ‘Steadfast’ prefers full sun exposure and fertile, well-drained soil to optimize yield. Resistant and productive, it is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a reliable variety for fresh consumption or processing.
