[nafex] Re: raspberry sources?
I'll put my 2 cents in for one Spring bearing red raspberry - Canby
Thornless. Very good flavor, soft, and effectively no thorns (near
the base of each cane it does get "razor-stubble" like thorns, but
they've never bothered me in handling the canes.
I do have to admit to having a fondness for black raspberries over
reds, but Canby threatens that fondness every year.
I planted "Goldie" over a year ago, though I don't have much
experience w/ it, I like it too.
