The Pathfinder is a classic red raspberry variety that is extremely productive with medium to large fruit. It is the earliest fall-bearing raspberry, ready to harvest in August, and produces berries that are firm and sweet.

Red River 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.

The Firecracker Goji Berry is a thornless cultivar of the Goji Berry that is known for its sweet red berries.

Fruit production typically starts in the second year of growth with maximum production in the fourth and fifth year.
