I have grown it off and on. My new patch I just put in this spring and the fruiting timing is not so meaningful the first year; I don't remember the timing previous years since it was awhile back. The main thing I like about it is the taste, it is more aromatic / perfumed / delicate flavored than other raspberries. I like it as something different. The drupes are bigger for me as well.

I just planted two of them last weekend. From what I understand, they bear fruit during the fall.

Ive been growing them for years in Boise which is too hot for raspberries.they are large and the most resistant to heat of all the verieties i have tried. i have picked a few as large as 6-6 1/2 grams. they are my favorite.
