Zone 5B. Could not rate high enough. On year three with these. The harvest off these is absolutely astonishing. When fruiting, my girls go out and pick every day. Fruit is medium to large berries and absolutely delicious. Extremely easy to care for. We get one smaller crop of 2nd year canes and then a massive crop off the new canes early fall. I feed twice a year with Trifecta+, and that’s about all I do. Could not be happier with the quality fruit and quantity. Plants were in better perfect shape when I got them and all grew and fruited first year. We froze around 12 gallons last year for over winter. Freeze just fine.

03/13/2024We planted 10 rows our first year to see what they were like. We were so impressed, we planted 11 more rows. They are extremely heat tolerant and the berries don't sunburn as much as the other varieties we have planted. They are completely thornless and very easy for upick customers to pick. They are consistent bearers and are very vigorous. We have to make sure our rows don't get too wide. I would recommend these to anyone!

11/30/2023Planted 5 varieties spring of in 2022 and these are our top pick for flavour as well as a heavy producer. We planted 20 of these and got about a quart pint per week the first year. Based on the growth this year I'm guessing it will be closer to 5 quarts per week.

07/24/2023My family bought me 10 plants last year, 2021, for Mother’s Day. I was sold on the thornless variety after all the great reviews and how low maintenance this variety is. These raspberries have not disappointed! We had a very cold spring and a late start to summer in central MN. It is the first week of July and we have an abundance of large delicious raspberries on healthy plants. They are being eaten by the handfuls. We will definitely be expanding our Joan J raspberry beds so that we can eat them fresh and freeze them.

07/09/2022These are my favorite raspberries ever. I originally bought them in 2015 and I would love to have them at my new house. They tasted like cotton candy to me.

06/03/2022I got 5 Joan J last year and they loved Northern VA Clay soil. It took off and gave me a small crop last fall. I am amazed at the crop today June 2nd. The tip of the new growth is starting to fruit as well. It is completely thornless and taste great.
