Raspberry 'Royalty' (Red-Black) - OrganicRubus idaeus 'Royalty'
Height: 1.25 m
Width: 0.75 m
Zone: 3
Exposure: Sun to part shade
This unique raspberry produces large, sweet purple berries. This berries can be picked a little unripe at the red stage for a traditional raspberry flavour. When purple and ripe, the berry flavor is stronger and sweeter. Yet again, when over-ripe the flavor is similar to that of a black raspberry.
Raspberries require at least 6 hours of sun and well drained soil. They are happiest in a nutrient-rich, slightly acidic soil, but will still produce in poorer soils. Raspberries are self-fertile so you do not need two varieties for cross-pollination.
We strongly recommend amending the planting area with Fafard Acid Loving Plant and Berry Soil Mix or compost.
