5 Live Plant Canby Thornless Raspberry Rubus idaeus Starter Plug

Canby Thornless Raspberry is a summer-bearing red raspberry variety known for its smooth, thornless canes and reliable production of large, firm, flavorful berries. This starter plug arrives as a young, actively growing plant ready to establish in a garden bed, raised planter, or berry patch, offering a productive and easy-to-handle option for home growers seeking a low-thorn raspberry. The berries are well suited to fresh eating, freezing, jams, and baking, while the thornless canes make pruning and harvest far more comfortable than standard varieties. Plants grow as upright canes that benefit from a trellis or support and perform best in a sunny site with good airflow.
