Royalty Purple Raspberry

Commercial
 
 

Royalty Purple is the most popular and sweetest purple raspberry variety on the market today. It offers large, high-quality fruit that is good for fresh eating and excellent for jams and jellies. Royalty Purple is very productive as it can elude spring frost damage due to its late ripening and can also be picked slightly immature as a firm red berry. Canes are tall and thorny, necessitating a simple trellis system. Royalty Purple has multiple insect resistances, including immunity to the raspberry aphid, which can help extend the productive life of the planting.
