Gray Dogwood
Anne Raspberry

Gray dogwood is a thicket-forming, deciduous shrub with greenish-white blossoms in open, terminal clusters. Young twigs are red and the fruit pedicels remain conspicuously red into late fall and early winter.

Fruit itself is a white, 1/4 in. drupe that usually does not remain on the shrub for long.

Great for naturalizing wild areas, this shrub attracts birds and other wildlife.

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.
