It’s a simple – yet winning – philosophy. If you are going to do something, go big!

The Willamette Raspberry (Rubus idaeus var. strigosus ‘Willamette’) goes for the gusto for you every year.

If you love firm, dark red raspberries for fresh eating, juicing, jams, jellies, chutneys, beer-making, salsa, sauces and baking into pies and cobblers – this robust variety will really deliver for you. Try freezing them into organic popsicles for the young at heart!

This erect variety produces fruit on floricanes, or the second year’s growth. You’ll want to give full sun in well-drained soil and give water as needed.

When the canes that produce the berries have all been harvested, those canes can be cut out to the ground and a whole fresh new crop of canes will already be growing from the ground by the time the berry harvest is done. Leave these new canes coming from the ground in place as they will produce the berries the following year.

A very popular variety, Willamette is generally free of insect and disease issues. This is a heavy producer. You’ll definitely want to include this in your edible landscape or backyard homestead.

Look for an abundant crop in summer. Yum, these berries are deliciously complex. Sweet, with just a hint of tartness, this is a tried and true variety for the home garden.
