Jewel Berry Update
My Jewel black raspberry from Berries Unlimited has just finished her first year of production, and what a work-horse she turned out to be! I grazed freely on sweet delicious berries, and then made 10 pints of mouth watering jam. There will be 5 canes next year instead of one, already tipped them and looking forward to a huge harvest next year. I picked Jewel twice a day in the 90+ degree heat in Missouri. I watered her and she never faltered. This black raspberry deserves the highest rating. Thank you.
