Selection of raspberry varieties to
grow in Pennsylvania, like most
fruit depends on where you live,
says Roland Daniels, associate
professor of horticulture at Penn
State.
He described the variety
selection orocess during the an
nual meeting of the Pennsylvania
Vegetable Growers Association
recently in Hershey.
Raspberries require tolerance to
hot summers as well as cold
winters, he pointed out. The
southeastern part of the state, for
example, is a problem area for red
raspberries due to high tem
peratures. Black raspberries are
best suited to southeastern
counties, he claimed.
“Research has shown that red
raspberry plants lose water faster
than any other small fruit. Thus,
it’s understandable that red

Raspberry selection depends on location
raspberries may be harder to get
through hot summers than through
cold winters,” he stated.
And he said the ridge and valley
region which sweeps from the
southcentral counties into the
northeast is suited to all three
kinds red, purple, and black
raspberries.
The Allegheny plateau, further
west, is best suited for all three
types. Finally, the Erie County
area, especially along Lake Ene,
is equally suited to all three.
Daniels called attention to
varieties considered standards by
commercial growers in Penn
sylvania. Among red raspberries
he listed Heritage Hilton, Latham,
Newburgh, Reveille, Sentinel, and
Taylor.
The standard commercial
varieties among black rasp
berries, he said, are Allen, Black
Hawk, Bristol, Cumberland, and

Unusual winter conditions, of
course, can cause crop failure. An
example was a planting of
Heritage raspberries that suffered
severe winter injury at Penn
State’s Horticultural Research
Farm in central Pennsylvania in
1977. During the same winter, the
variety Reveille was undamaged.
And he suggested that the
variety Heritage, although an
everbearer, would be best used as
a fall-bearing raspberry. As
recommended. Heritage should be
cut off or mowed at the ground
after harvest.
Knowing the general vigor of a
variety if equally important m
selecting those to plant, he said
The more vigorous the variety, the
easier it is to establish.

Sturdy plants compete best with
weeds and are best able to resist
diseases and infection,” Dr.
Daniels affirmed
The variety Reveille, it was
noted grows to nearly six feet at
Penn State’s Horticultural
Research Farm. Another vigorous
cultivar in Fallgold, which
develops an excellent bed of tall,
stiff canes.
“The cheapest way to resist
diseases and insects,” he stated,
“is to choose cultivars with disease
and insect resistance and to
purchase disease-free stock.”
In selling fresh raspberries,
varieties that do best are bright
colored rather than • dusty”

new purple variety, has a more

The Wic bedding chopper chops straw, hay or corn
fodder and spreads it uniformly under your cows, all
in a single operation. When you use chopped bed
ding, you save on straw and your cows stay much
cleaner. On top of that, cleaning up is a breeze...
