Raspberry 'Royalty' (Red-Black) - OrganicRubus idaeus 'Royalty' Height: 1.25 m Width: 0.75 m Zone: 3 Exposure: Sun to part shade This unique raspberry produces large, sweet purple berries. This berries can be picked a little unripe at the red stage for a traditional raspberry flavour. When purple and ripe, the berry flavor is stronger and sweeter. Yet again, when over-ripe the flavor is similar to that of a black raspberry. Raspberries require at least 6 hours of sun and well drained soil. They are happiest in a nutrient-rich, slightly acidic soil, but will still produce in poorer soils. Raspberries are self-fertile so you do not need two varieties for cross-pollination. We strongly recommend amending the planting area with Fafard Acid Loving Plant and Berry Soil Mix or compost. Certified Organic by EcoCert Canada
