Raspberry Plants

Fruiting Season: Fall Bearing

Polana

Polana

Licensed Variety

At least three weeks earlier than Heritage, Polana allows you to grow fall varieties in more northern locations and still produce a great crop. Released from Poland, its berries are highly productive, large, glossy in appearance, coherent, with good flavor. Canes are vigorous and grow shorter than those of Heritage. Ripens early August in southern New England and late July in southern Wisconsin. In most cases, helps fill in the gap between summer and fall raspberries. A great choice for early fall raspberries. Polana needs extra fertilizer in May and June.
