Canby Red Thornless Raspberry

The Canby Raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Canby') is a summer-bearing cultivar known for its nearly thornless canes and high-quality fruit. This vigorous deciduous shrub produces large, bright red berries with a sweet, intense flavor and firm texture. It is a favorite for home gardeners because the lack of thorns makes harvesting painless and easy, while the plant itself shows excellent resistance to common viruses and aphids. It grows as an upright, spreading bush that benefits from the support of a trellis, fence, or wall to keep its heavy summer crop off the ground. The fruit typically ripens in June and July, making it an ideal choice for fresh eating, preserves, and freezing.   Botanical Name   Rubus idaeus 'Canby Red' Also Known As   Red Raspberry | 木莓 | 无刺红树莓 Specifications USDA Zone   Light Needs   Watering Needs   Leaves   Life Cycle   Avg.
