Enjoy extended berry harvests with Niwot Black Raspberry Plug Plants — the first-ever everbearing black raspberry variety available to home gardeners. This remarkable plant produces two full crops per year: one in early summer and another in the fall, giving you a longer and more abundant harvest window than any traditional black raspberry.

Niwot’s berries are jet-black, firm, and exceptionally sweet, with a rich, classic raspberry flavor. Ideal for fresh eating, baking, canning, and freezing, these raspberries are held on strong, upright canes that are easy to trellis and manage. Vigorous and cold-hardy, Niwot thrives in USDA Zones 5–8 and is perfect for home gardens and small farms alike.

Each 1-year-old bare root plug ships dormant and ready to plant in early spring or fall, quickly establishing to deliver years of dual-season harvests.
