Raspberry: ‘Red Mammoth’ – 2Gal

Raspberry ‘Red Mammoth’ (Rubus idaeus ‘Red Mammoth’) is a vigorous, prairie-hardy, summer-bearing raspberry bred for large fruit size and reliable production in cold climates. It produces exceptionally large, bright red berries with a rich, sweet flavour on upright, strong canes that are relatively easy to harvest. The plant forms a productive, suckering patch over time, making it ideal for home gardens and small fruit production. Its heavy yields and excellent cold tolerance make it especially well-suited to Saskatchewan growing conditions.
