Black raspberries, Rubus occidentalis, are neither a raspberry nor blackberry, but a totally distinct species from the forests of North America. If you could take those glinting pick 'n' mix sweets of childhood & magically turn them into a real-life berry, this would be it. Jewel has unique colour like no other raspberry; almost violet-black fruits which have a special perfumed taste & blush-white canes which make it stand out from all other varieties. It is tolerant to phytophthora & fruits on last years canes. Flowers July-August. Height 150-200cm; spread 101-150cm. Supplied in a 1.5 litre pot.
