Alpha Jewel Black Raspberry

Large, glossy black raspberries boast a flavor that is richer than that of the red and yellow types. They're so delicious eaten out of hand you might not get them back to the kitchen, but make outstanding preserves and pies for those that can stand to save them! Bushes are larger than other types too, as well as vigorous and highly productive canes that will grow up to 7' tall! Although many blacks are considered more disease prone than reds, Jewel is quite disease resistant. Space plants about 3' apart.
