Thimbleberry vs Anne Raspberry

Thimbleberry is an ornamental shrub with large, green maple-like-leaves. Flowers are attractive, fragrant, and turn into red-raspberry-like berries. The berries are good for jams, cakes, breads, muffins etc. If you remove the berry, the core resembles a thimble, giving this shrub its namesake.

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.
