About Amethyst
Hybrid of a red and a black raspberry, dark purple fruit ripens late summer. Extremely hardy, known to fruit in Fairbanks, Alaska. Non-suckering, but tip prune down to 4' tall in fall to prevent canes from taking root, or grow on a trellis. 1968 Iowa State University introduction. Height depends on pruning.
About Raspberry
Upright, self-fruitful, usually thorny shrubs that don’t require staking or support. Clusters of five-petaled white flowers with yellow anthers give way to flavorful fruit. Red or yellow raspberries spread by suckering underground; black raspberries spread when the tips reach the ground. Note: black raspberries should not be planted near any other color of raspberries nor near blackberries.
