Grow Your Own Fresh Fruit!
Raspberry, ‘Jewel’ (Standard, Black) is a customer favorite with large black raspberries that are shiny black, sweet and flavorful. A recent introduction from the New York Fruit Testing Station found this is now rated the best of black raspberries. Plus, these plants are highly disease resistant. Also, the vigorous plants are early ripening, and in our experience a big improvement over the popular ‘Bristol’. ‘Jewel’ is a cross between ‘Bristol’ and ‘Dundee’. It is our most popular black raspberry variety. It produces excellent yields of superb quality berries. The large sized fruit is glossy black in color and has a rich raspberry flavor.

Planting Instructions: Raspberries require a well-drained but consistently moist, rich soil for best growth. They need full sun for highest fruit production. Don't plant too deep! For bareroot plants, use a hoe to make a trench 2" deep the length of the bed. Spread roots along the bottom of the trench and cover immediately. Take care while planting to keep roots at the 2" level. This will promote suckers to develop from the roots.
