Boyne Raspberry is a classic summer-bearing (floricane-fruiting) red raspberry cultivar that was developed at the Morden Research Station in Manitoba, Canada. It's named after the Boyne River and has become a standard variety, especially in colder regions, due to its exceptional hardiness and reliability. Medium-sized, bright red berries with excellent sweet-tart flavor and good firmness. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.  Boyne is self-pollinating, and its fruits freeze well or make excellent preservatives. Disease resistant.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Medium Maintenance.  Intolerant of wet soils- can lead to root rot.  Prune fruiting canes and weak canes immediately after fruiting, and as needed in winter.  Remove suckers and trimmings to prevent rooting.  Anthracnose, botrytis and root rot can be serious problems.  Cane and crown borers are potential serious pests. Prune after harvest.
