Red Raspberry Picking Tips & Info


Red Raspberries

Members of the rose family, raspberries are typically red-pink in color, but actually come in a range of colors including black, purple, orange, yellow and white.

Washington accounts for nearly 60% of the U.S. production of red raspberries, at nearly 70,000,000 pounds per year.

A raspberry plant may live and produce fruit for more than 30 years as long as it is properly cared for.

Tips For Getting the Ripest Reds Out There
Avoid berries that are light red in color, and berries with white or yellow tips. Pick the fruits when they have turned a deep red and drop off easily from the core when touched. This is when the fruits are most ripe and sweetest.
Be careful not to fill your containers too full or else you will have smashed berries on the bottom.
