Prelude Raspberry is one of the earliest ripening raspberries. As early as June you can expect red berries that are delectably sweet and perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. It is disease resistant, cold hardy, and vigorous in nature. Expect raspberries one year after planting.

The Prelude 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 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.
