Growing Black Raspberries Tips for a Thriving Berry Patch

Black Raspberry is a variety similar to red Raspberry and is native to North America. Despite their name, they are not considered berries. They are actually classified as aggregate fruit made up of little bumps, also known as drupelets.

They resemble blackberries in appearance but differ in several ways. They have a short growing season, while blackberries can be produced throughout the year in many areas. Also, they have a hollow center when they are picked, while blackberries will have a white or green core when picked from the stem.

The Benefits of Planting Black Raspberry Bushes in Your Garden

Black Raspberries differ from them in that they are higher in antioxidants. They also grow in only certain regions, while black raspberries can grow almost anywhere in North America. They are typically found in most grocery stores, but they are usually not found in stores and are often used to make dietary supplements.

They grow best in USDA zones five through eight, but they may be grown in zone four in some cases. However, they must be planted on a northern slope to protect from frost. They begin producing fruit in early June, and the berries will only last about two to three weeks.
