Niwot Black Raspberry

Niwot is very productive with attractive, shiny fruit and a less intense raspberry flavor. This variety is vigorous, requiring trellising with 3–4 feet of spacing within the row. In addition to the fall crop, Niwot can also produce an excellent floricane crop, ripening slightly earlier than Jewel Black, depending upon the location. Growers are advised to allow plants to establish for 2–3 years before double cropping.
