Rob,
I have had good luck with these two varieties.

Dinkum - A red everbearing. To me it has a good flavor and is vigorous.

Royalty - A summer bearing purple raspberry. I really like the flavor of
this variety when it reaches the purple stage. It has had average vigor.

Subject: [NAFEX] Raspberry Recommendations


First time poster, long time lurker... Etc..

Does anybody have any raspberry recommendations for South Central MI? I
have several of each of Heritage (of course), Latham, something called
"Indian Red" (probably a nomen nudem), and Fall Gold (the only good
performer last year, but then again I planted everything last spring). I'm
looking to put in another dozen or so bushes this year. I'm looking for
taste and vigor over yield.

And just my two cents on exotics: A rose is a weed in a potato patch. I
prefer native plantings for my prairie, but I do like a fair number of
non-native plants for food. I would recommend that people look for sterile
cultivars of exotic species, if they are available.

Del,
Must report that the apricot pit you sent that grew into a 3-foot seedling
came through the winter well. It's in a can, which is buried in the nursery
bed. It spent most of the Wisconsin winter buried in snow. After our quick
and dramatic thaw this week, I can report that the apricot is healthy and
its buds are fat and pliable.
