Anne Raspberry

Nannyberry is a hardy shrub known for attracting wildlife. Its clusters of white flowers and tasty berries are suitable for bees, birds, and other animals.

Nannyberry is also used in urban yards and landscaping. This shrub makes a beautiful ornamental and is small enough to grow underneath power lines. Its berries can be eaten fresh or used in baking and preserves.

Makes a great hedge or privacy screen in an urban yard. Often has great red fall color to complement its spring flowers.

The Anne Raspberry is largely regarded as one of the best-tasting yellow raspberries. It is an everbearing variety that provides a mid-sized yield in early summer, with a more heavy crop later in the summer and into the fall. It blooms with white, rose-like flowers that give way to large, sweet, yellow berries that are quite firm.They are great for fresh-eating, or in preserves.

The Anne Raspberry is a primocane-fruiting variety, meaning that it produces fruit on first years' growth. Prune stalks down each winter or early spring to get higher fruit yields and easier harvesting.
