Honey Queen Raspberry
Rubus idaeus 'Honey Queen'
The Honey Queen summer-bearing raspberry is well-known for its distinctively mild and sweet, gentle honey flavor. Its yellow berries are less acidic and tart compared to red raspberry varieties. Developed in Alberta, Canada by Robert Erskin, it is one of the most cold-tolerant varieties we offer.
Moreover, the Honey Queen raspberry is said to be more tolerant to shady conditions than other raspberry plants, while still requiring sufficient sun exposure to grow well. Offer afternoon shade in hotter climates, and avoid planting canes next to buildings where they could be stressed by reflected heat.
