Souris Raspberry (an improved Boyne Raspberry)
Seascape Strawberry

Souris is an improved version of Boyne, the classic prairie raspberry. It is planted all across Canada and is extremely robust. Where other raspberry cultivars rely on unique selling points and specializations, Souris is just generally a great raspberry.

Souris is cold hardy and resistant to disease and spider mites. Its berries are deliciously sweet and tart while colourful, great for U-pick operations, fresh eating, or using in products such as jams and pies. They can be a bit softer than other raspberry varieties.

The Souris 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 Seascape Strawberry is a cold-hardy perennial that produces large, sweet cherry-red berries that are usually ready for harvest from late spring to early fall. This variety is an Everbearing (Day Neutral) strawberry with small white flowers. It is typically more productive than other cold hardy strawberries.
The Seascape Strawberry is a self-pollinating variety, meaning it does not require a second plant nearby to set fruit. This plant produces an above average number of runners that grow quickly into new plants.
