I have been happy with the quality, consistency and hardiness of Lauren, Encore and Taylor. I am on the border of Zone 5 & 6 in the Fingerlakes region of NY. All of my plants were purchased from Nourse Farms. I have been selling berries from these varieties since 2004 and they have been well received.

Anyone in the north have any advice on raspberry varieties? We are near
Boston, on the border between zones 5 and 6. We have had bad luck with K81-6,
a delicious summer bearer advertised as cold hardy. Not. We also have a row
of Lauren, which is hardier, but not great. Prelude does wonderfully here,
but the berries are only so-so. (We also grow two fall bearers, Caroline and
Polana.) We are looking for a winter-hardy main-crop summer bearer to replace
the K81-6. Of course, we are looking for excellent flavor, large coherent
berries, and plants that are easy to tend. What do you all grow? (and, to
whoever mentioned it, thanks for the tip on cardboard as mulch!)
