I've been re-evaluating my Rubus recently and thought I'd post here for
recommendations.
My Heritage have never done well. They don't ripen uniformly and I
don't get a great yield - they probably have a virus and I'm pretty much
set on tearing them out. Can anyone recommend a replacement? An
everbearing with good flavor and maybe some disease
resistance/tolerance?
I'm also not enthralled with my Royalty purples, though they've been
serving nicely as decoys, keeping the birds away from my Fall Gold! How
is Brandywine in comparison? Any other I should consider? (I'm
thinking successfully getting these all out will be a challenge - they
out-compete the weeds!)
