Raspberry: Everbearing

Nova Raspberries

Everbearing raspberries produce two crops, one in late spring/early summer and another in late summer/early fall. The berries will grow at the top of the cane for the first harvest, and at the bottom of the cane for the second harvest.

The canes can be pruned in such a way that only the late summer/early fall crop is harvested. They will be more productive this way, yet some prefer having two smaller harvests to one large.
