The raspberry ‘Killarney’ (Rubus idaeus) is very productive and offers a very large red raspberry, firm and delicious. Popular, it is a classic that everyone seems to love in self-picking or processed. Very hardy, these raspberry bushes are practical in hedges, where it is easier to manage their expansive suckers, erect with thorns, which can be controlled by passing the mower or with various tools allowing you to recover the tender shoots that you can consume like asparagus, raw or cooked, or in sweet herbal tea, before the invasion.

Choose its final location carefully, because if it is welcome to settle in any type of soil that drains well, comfortable in slightly acidic soil, it quickly becomes persistent. Even if the plant fortunately copes with drought, the harvest will be juicier if it does not dry out. Enjoy picking ripe raspberries, varieties selected for their flavor, sweeter than those found in stores.

The production of the raspberry ‘Killarney’ begins in the 2nd year, and can decline due to diseases after 7 or 8 years of good harvests. Self-fertile.
