Raspberry Plants

Fruiting Season: Fall Bearing

Nantahala

Nantahala

Nantahala is a new release from North Carolina State University.  It is the latest fruiting primocane red raspberry we offer.  Nantahala has large fruit with a bright, red color and excellent sweet flavor and medium firmness.  Fruit began ripening in the first week of September in the North Carolina trials and continued 3-4 weeks until the first hard frost.  We would recommend Nantahala for growers who would like to extend the season beyond Josephine.
