Rubus idaeus 'Tulameen' (Very late-season)

Tulameen Raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Tulameen') is an upright bush of approximately 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Small white flowers emerge May to June, followed by abundant large, round, highly perfumed, ruby red fruits in July. The fruits are sweet, sugary and slightly acidic. Eat fresh, or use in jam, sorbet, juice, dried fruit, or baking.

The canes are biennial, with each cane dying after fruiting. New canes armed with small prickles emerge from the roots every year.

Tulameen Red Raspberry is a hardy, robust, and vigorous variety that is self-fertile. As with most self-fertile, fruit-bearing bushes, fruit production does benefit when planted alongside other varieties of pollinator plants. Optimal production is achieved from the third year after planting. The lifespan of the raspberry plant is around ten years.
