Yellow Black Raspberry Seeds

This rare raspberry is found with the wild black raspberry where it is identical in all aspects except the fruit is a bright yellow with green canes. The mild flavored fruit is 1/2” in size and produced in clusters. This strain produces primarliy seedlings with yellow color fruit. Some black fruited selections will also come out of this. We have a more isolated planting and now use the most vigorous seed strains with the largest fruit production. 

To germinate the seed, fall plant and let nature takes it course. Seedlings will appear as tiny sprouts growing very slowly at first. Lightly sow the seeds on the surface of the soil barely covering them up. For germinating using the refrigerator method, store in lightly damp canadian peat moss for 90-120 days at  33 to 38 F.  After the cold period, plant directly on the surface of the soil and tamp in. The seeds will germinate over 2 months.  Keep in mind a portion of the seeds will sprout the following year. The seeds have a hard seed coat which delays the germination. This is common with Rubus.
