Notes
'Taylor' raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Taylor') is a shrub for food gardens, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows 36 to 60 inches tall and wide with an arching habit. White flowers open in spring and again in summer, and bees, butterflies, and birds visit them.
Pairs well with Little Lime panicle hydrangea, Indian grass, Cortland apple, and Lily.
