Blackberries, Raspberries and Hybrids

After almost 4 years i finally have obtained ‘Josephine’ Virginia Tech/U of Md bred red raspberry.

NOT the Hand Picked Nursery Josephine ’ Named after Princess Josephine of Denmark

My source got them from Nourse nursery a long time ago.

I have tried and failed at every other attempt to get the true to name Josephine. Not sure if anyone on this forum or elsewhere still grows them but if so they are pretty shy about discussing.

In order to weed out the Hand Picked Nursery version… you have to go back a long time to get much information on it.

Roll call for anyone still growing the Josephine from 2010 (ish).

I will grow these out and go from there…
