description for "Berries: Rubus idaeus 'Taylor'"
'Taylor' is delicious beyond compare. It's simply the most flavorful red raspberry you can grow. Heavy producer. Large, conical, light red fruit often more than 1 inch long, very firm. Start picking the first week in July, then for 3 weeks the bushes are loaded with ripening fruit. Hardy. Vigorous. If you like raspberry taste, try 'Taylor.' You won't be disappointed. Black and red raspberries can be planted together. Self-pollinating. Plant 3 x 6 feet apart. Will grow to 4-5 feet at maturity. Average yield is 1-1/2 to 2 quarts per mature plant. Sandy, well drained soil is best. The more sun the better. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
