Fruiting Season: Fall Bearing

Himbo Top

Himbo Top (RAFZAQU variety)

U.S. Plant Patent # 19,512

HIMBO TOP™, a primocane red raspberry variety introduced in 2008, has demonstrated high tolerance to Phytophthora root rot disease. This variety produces extremely large, firm, bright red fruit that does not darken. Berries have good flavor, are conic shaped, have small, well constructed drupelets and are easy to pick. For best results in commercial production, we recommend closely managing your cultural practices, especially water and plant density. This variety is extremely vigorous and will require less fertilizer. It ripens a few days later than Autumn Bliss. We feel Himbo Top™ has the potential to be the most productive of any variety we offer today.
