Raspberry Plants are native wild bushes that grew wild in early Colonial America, and those species from the wild have been brought into the laboratory by researchers to produce new, outstanding, hybrid raspberry cultivars of red, black, gold and wine colors. Scientists at Cornell University at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station have introduced many hybrid raspberries with excellent flavors, berry size and extended shelf life to be propagated by U.S Nurseries. The new hybrid everbearing raspberry bushes are today a favorite in berry gardens, because of the early spring crops that are followed by another plentiful harvest in the fall.
