Niwot Black Raspberry Plant

The first ever-bearing black raspberry, Niwot was developed by Pete Tallman in Longmont Colorado. Niwot is an early ripening, ever-bearing black raspberry with impressive yields and delicious fruit. It is a vigorous plant with impressive summer harvests and early fall ripening starting in late August. Keep raspberry bushes evenly watered during the summer. Check regularly and water whenever the top inch of soil is dry. Drip irrigation or a soaker hose system is ideal for consistent moisture. Do not water during the winter, though, as that could cause the roots to rot.
