MYSORE RASPBERRY Tropical Fruiting Flowering Live Bush Plant Bears Delicious Red Indigo Fruit Starter Size 4 Inch Emerald R

Rubus niveus or the Mysore Raspberry is one of the only raspberry plants known for producing fruit in regions that do not experience harsh cold weather conditons. The Mysore Raspberry will produce fruits throughout the year and have the largest yield shortly after their most prominent blooming period in December. To have the largest fruit yield, water these bushes very regularly and supply a 4-8-4 or 4-7-5 NPK fertilizer every two to three weeks.

These raspberry bushes gained popularity in the 1950s, but slowly became less prominent as they require heavy maintenance to remain productive for many years. Trimming some of the Mysore Raspberry canes (limbs extending from the bush) to ground level is common and can limit thick growth that makes harvest difficult. The thorns of this raspberry bush are meant to protect the fruit of the plant from animals in nature, but can serve the dual purpose of deterring humans when planted strategically.
