The Cumberland Black Raspberry is a berry bush which is very similar to red raspberries, except that the fruits are black in color, larger than raspberries and have a sweet and unique flavor that is close to that of blackberries. The fruit is high in healthy antioxidants and this sturdy plant will produce a big crop of berries every year with just a little care. It is hardy and can be grown in most parts of the country. For eating fresh, turning into baked goods, or making preserves, this easily grown berry will be a real winner with all your family.
The Cumberland Black Raspberry is one of the easiest berry crops to grow, and also one of the most cold-resistant, so you can have garden-fresh berries even in zone 4. Plant in full sun, in any well-drained garden soil. Usually pest and disease free, and needing just one pruning a year, you will be harvesting bumper crops within one year of planting, and the upright plants can be grown in a small garden, as they need very little room – even growing on a fence.
