Raspberry

Rubus idaeus 'Cumberland'

The shiny black raspberries should be picked and eaten or quickly refrigerated, since the shelf life is shorter in blacks than in red raspberries, the berries are early ripening in mid-season, and are medium in size.

Plant in well-drained soil in full sun. The Cumberland black raspberry plant produces large, juicy and firm thin-skinned berries with very few seeds. One of the classic black raspberries that is known as the Cumberland was introduced to berry growers in 1896.
