Notes
'Jewel' raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Jewel') is a shrub for food gardens, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It bears black summer fruit, and its white flowers draw butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Give the arching canes room to grow.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Empire apple, Chardonnay grape, and Stargazer lily.
