Brandywine Purple Raspberry Plant – A Unique & Flavorful Heirloom Variety! 🌿

The Brandywine Purple Raspberry (Rubus idaeus Γ— Rubus occidentalis β€˜Brandywine’) is a rare, heirloom variety cherished for its beautiful deep purple fruit, robust growth, and intense flavor. This unique cross between red and black raspberries produces large, juicy berries that are sweeter than black raspberries yet richer than red raspberries. The Brandywine Raspberry plant is a vigorous grower that thrives in cooler climates, making it an excellent addition to any home orchard. Its cold hardiness, disease resistance, and heavy fruit production have made it a favorite among raspberry enthusiasts.


🌿 USDA Growing Zones & Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 4-9, making it ideal for temperate climates
  • Requires approximately 800-1000 chill hours for optimal fruiting

🌸 Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Self-Pollinating: No additional plants are needed, but planting multiple bushes increases yield.
  • Produces large, firm, deep purple raspberries with a rich, tangy-sweet flavor.
  • Ripens mid to late summer, typically from July through August.

  1. Prepare the Soil: Enrich with compost or organic matter for improved fertility.
  2. Dig a Hole: Twice the width and depth of the root ball.
  3. Position the Plant: Place the plant in the hole so the roots are spread naturally.
