WHITEBARK RASPBERRY, BLACKCAP
- Unit price
- / per
Whitebark Raspberry, also known as Blackcap Raspberry, is a variety of raspberry native to western North America, from Alaska southward along the Pacific coast as far as California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Chihuahua.
It is grown in gardens for fruit or harvested in the wild, by humans and animals alike, including a wide variety of birds and mammals.
Rubus leucodermis is a deciduous shrub. The fruit is 1-1.2 centimetres (3/8-1/2 inch) diameter, red to reddish-purple at first, turning dark purple to nearly black when ripe.
Type: Hardy shrub
Location: Sun or part sun
Hardiness zones: 5-9
Seeds per packet: 5
Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours before planting. Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 90 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature 20-22C (68-72F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
