Vintage Raspberry is an upright thorny deciduous shrub that has a long harvest of large, bright ruby fruit that ripens from late summer into fall. Its small but attractive spring bloom of white flowers attracts pollinators. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Vintage is self-pollinating.
