Raspberry – Yellow Honey Queen

Honey Queen is a yellow, summer-bearing raspberry offered as a bundle of three dormant bare-root plants. Nursery and extension references identify it as a cold-climate floricane cultivar developed in Alberta, with sweet yellow fruit, arching moderately spiny canes, and a summer harvest.

• Plant form: 3 dormant bare-root raspberry plants
• USDA zones: 38
• Chill requirement: 5001,000 hours
• Fruiting type: Floricane / summer-bearing
• Pollination: Self-fruitful; one variety can set fruit
• Sun: Full sun; it can tolerate some partial shade, but fruiting may be reduced

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and train the arching canes on a trellis or wire system. After the summer harvest, remove floricanes that fruited and retain healthy primocanes for the following year’s crop. Harvest timing and crop size vary with climate and care.
