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.
