Black/Purple/Yellow Raspberry Varieties

I like Fall Gold Raspberry, it’s not super productive but that is about the only bad point I can think of? The yellows are almost thornless, that is a plus. So is Himbo Top, low acid, excellent red. Black raspberries by themselves are low acid compared to reds. the purples are often described as bland, but make a decent jelly or jam. I have heard. I have never grown them. The best black raspberry I grow is one I bred. It is primocane fruiting and unlike Niwot the primocane berries are excellent, and extremely large. It is unnamed for now. I also bred Lynn’s Black but this one is even better. Although Lynn’s Black has the largest Summer crop fruit I have seen.
