Red berries and black berries, canes and bushes - one collection covers them all. Four small-fruit varieties - two gooseberries and two raspberries - deliver a full range of colours, flavours, and uses from a single planting.
This collection pairs two contrasting gooseberry bush colours - the near-black Black Velvet and the large-red Jahn's Prairie - with two raspberry cane types that extend the harvest across the season. Red River kicks in as an early everbearing variety with heavy late-summer production, while Wyoming Black ripens from mid-July through early fall and is self-pollinating, meaning it sets fruit without a companion plant. Together the four varieties give you fresh eating, jamming, jellying, baking, and preserving options from a compact planting of canes and bushes, spanning dark-black to bright-red fruits with flavours ranging from near-blueberry to apricot-kissed sweet.
