Boyne is an early summer-bearing red raspberry and one of the hardiest there is.
The berries are medium-sized, dark red and sweet, and they're especially good for jam and freezing. It's a vigorous, productive plant.
Plant it with a later variety like Encore or Coho to stretch out your raspberry season.
Boyne was released in 1960 by Agriculture Canada's research station at Morden, Manitoba, and is still a standard where winters are cold.

Growing tips
Watch for: Spreads by suckers, so keep the row narrow; plant in well-drained soil
- Full sun and good drainage. Plant in a row about 2 feet apart and keep the row narrow.
- Summer-bearing raspberries fruit on second-year canes. Cut those canes to the ground right after harvest.
- A simple trellis (two wires between posts) keeps canes upright and makes picking easier.
- Mulch to keep weeds down and the soil moist.
