raspberry 'Sugana'

A late raspberry with red fruit. It has deciduous green leaves and small white flowers in the summer producing its harvest in late summer into autumn. Although true of many late raspberries, this variety is particularly good at producing another early crop the following year, if the stems are left uncut. It is compact enough to be grown in a large container.
