Nantahala raspberry plant is a primocane fruiting red raspberry that is well-adapted to warmer climates (especially high elevation areas of the Appalachian Mountains) due to its late ripening season. Fruit is medium-large, attractive, firm, and easy to harvest. Flavor is often rated as better than Heritage. Yield is good.
