Wyoming Raspberry is a blackberry/raspberry hybrid. It is a vigorous grower, with floricane canes reaching up to 8 feet, which you must support if they are heavily laden with fruit.
The fruit is a deep purple to black drupe, with a flavour between blackberry and raspberry.
It is more cold hardy than other black raspberry cultivars, suitable to cold hardiness zone 3a. Wyoming Black Raspberry is non-suckering, making it suitable for the small home garden.
The Wyoming Raspberry is a fast-growing floricane. This means that raspberries will not grow on canes the year they first grow. The mature canes they do grow on, however, produce more berries than primocane varieties.
The Honeoye Strawberry is a cold-hardy cultivar that produces large, sweet berries that feature an attractive bright-red color. It blooms with small white flowers and commonly it is a top-selling berry on the market due to its winter hardiness, highly productive crops and self-pollinating nature.
The Honeoye Strawberry is a June Bearing (Short Day) variety, meaning that they typically produce a single, large crop earlier in the season.
The Honoeye Strawberry received the Garden Merit Award of the Royal Horticultural society.
