experimental purple type raspberry

[swaine]

( my own red seedling x my own black seedling)pictured next to a nice sized red, seems to be untroubled by the wet weather wereas my glen coe and a couple of other named purples have suffered this year in the wet,
quite nice flavour aswell as a good sized for purple type
doesnt seem to want to propagate itself like a normal red type raspberry or tip root like a black, so increasing it may pose some thought

Looks interesting.I've seen a purple raspberry advertised in magazines can't remember name of it. What do they taste like.

I have Glen Coe and it is fruiting well and is very tasty. It is very tall, 7 or 8 feet and very productive.
