Killarney Raspberry Shrub

Cold-hardy and reliable, Rubus idaeus ‘Killarney’ (Red Raspberry) is an early midseason, upright, self-fruitful, thorny shrub with clusters of white, rose-like flowers which give way to medium-sized, sweet, flavorful, red raspberries in early-mid summer. 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.
