Rubus idaeus ‘Titan’, also known as the ‘Titan’ red raspberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright and very vigorous habit, renowned for the exceptional size of its fruits and its abundant early production. This single-cropping variety produces a concentrated harvest of particularly large and well-formed raspberries from the beginning of summer. Its creamy-white spring flowers attract pollinators and ensure reliable fruit set. The dense, bright green foliage supports robust canes that benefit from support in intensive cultivation. Rubus idaeus ‘Titan’ prefers full sun exposure and fertile, rich, well-drained soil to optimize size and flavor. Ideal for fresh consumption and processing, it is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for very large fruits.
