Raspberry Plants

Fruiting Season: Fall Bearing

Joan J

Joan J (Joan Squire x Terri-Louise)

U.S. Plant Patent # 18,954

This high-yielding, thornless, early primocane variety looks excellent in our first year trials. One report indicates that Joan J out-yielded Autumn Bliss by more than 30! The fruit is large and holds its size well. Berries are firm, easy picking (they release well) with small drupelets and good flavor. The fruit will hold and ship well, as it is dry. Highly recommended for planting when early fruit is required.
