Black Raspberry of the variety 'Black Jewel' - current height 60-80 cm
Common name: Black Raspberry 'Black Jewel'
Scientific name: Rubus occidentalis
Family: Rose family
Plant history & use:
The black raspberry, Rubus occidentalis, is a black-colored variant of the more common red raspberry, Rubus idaeus. As noted above, however, they are two completely different species. The black raspberry is described as highly disease-resistant, easy to cultivate, and early-bearing. The black raspberry is also more tolerant to heat and drought. The berries keep their shape for several days in the cold after harvest.
The black raspberry has also been called "The king of berries" because of its esteemed health benefits. The berries contain high levels of antioxidants and also anthocyanins (the group of substances that give fruits and vegetables their dark color - blue/purple/black) which act anti-inflammatory and are also linked to processes in the body such as improved memory and increased eyesight.
The variety 'Black Jewel' has berries with a high sweetness and a pleasant aftertaste that lingers after eating the berries. The berries have a glossy appearance and provide a striking addition to the cultivation.
The berries can be both dried and frozen for later use. They are good in blended drinks. You can also make jam and juice from black raspberries.
Cultivation:
Grow in well-drained soil in a sunny spot. They thrive best in sandy soil rich in humus. To give the plant humus-rich soil, you can mix in plant remains (for example grass clippings) into the topsoil or cover the soil with a layer of plant remains.
Black Raspberries are a fast-growing species. It is also good to note that the black raspberry is a tall-growing raspberry species; the bush normally reaches 2-3 meters in height.
Black Raspberry (R. occidentalis) does not send out root shoots like the more common red raspberry (R. idaeus).
