There is an older fellow in my church who is moving into town off his farm and wanted to give away a bunch of his raspberries. They are just sprouting right now, so I went and dug a bunch up.

He didn't know what the varieties are, but I'm guessing Boyne for the red ones, because of how common they are and the ones I got fruit on second year wood, like Boyne. He also gave me a few canes that had been given to him of a thornless red raspberry. Not sure what that would be, I haven't looked into it yet. I have no idea what variety the yellow type will be. I thought they were only borderline hardy in 2b, but he said he has had no trouble with them and he never covers them. Then I got one black raspberry shrub which I also have no idea what variety it is...I think he said it has thorns like razors on it though.

I hope they all survive! I'm excited, this is the first fruiting plants I've planted in our yard; up until now it has just been flowers!

Too bad I'll have to wait until next year for fruit for the red and yellow berries(I just got suckers, no older canes)
