Also known as: Information to be completed
This raspberry/blackberry hybrid berry produces long, usually thornless canes which are trained horizontally to a spread of 3-4m. It has green deciduous leaves and most varieties are floricanes - fruiting on shoots which grew the previous summer. The pale pink or white flowers develop into elongated red fruits - up to 4cm - which darken as they become fully ripe.
