Himbo-Top™

Planted a dozen canes two years ago in the spaces between my Heritage canes. They grew well and yielded very large fruit that remained pickable better than Heritage which in my garden tends to fully ripen and drop. I I harvest only a Fall crop, the canes being cut to the ground in January.

We had planted both Himbo and Heritage plants last year. The Heritage plants started growing very strongly early in the season with beautiful stems and foliage. The Himbo were reluctant to the point i was concerned that they had failed overwinter, but then they all started growing about two weeks later and soon made up for the later start. We had a small summer crop on these second year vines and a much better fall crop starting in late September well into November. They continued to produce even after light frosts right up to Veterans Day when we got a hard freeze. We love the Himbo fruit especially and will plant more next spring!

I planted five of these in Spring of 2019 without a belief that i would get any berries in the first year. I have now picked three pints of the most delicious berries by mid-September and there are still more to pick. The grandchildren love these raspberries and fight to get to pick them.

Planted Himbo Top in April this year and have been getting a fair number of berries from two of the plants starting early August. Others have developed flowers and green fruit so I expect these for a fall crop. Didn't expect any berries so soon from bare root plants! Plants are growing well and are healthy in this very wet record breaking summer.
