Shekinah 'Tahi' Black Raspberry

Shekinah Tahi is the first completely spineless black raspberry variety. "Tahi" means Number One in Māori. Shekinah Tahi grows vigorously and more upright than typical spiny black raspberry cultivars and has a harvest season similar to Jewel Black. Shekinah Tahi produces large fruit, weighing up to 4.5g, with a deep black color. While tightly clustered fruit presentation can make early picking challenging, the lack of spines simplifies picking and pruning compared to traditional black raspberry varieties.
