Stokes Berry Farm Nursery |
The farm nursery consists of a 14,500 plant nursery breeding trial. This trial area shows extensive diversity of raspberry germplasm. When a plant exhibiting superior genetic characteristics such as flavor or nutraceutrical content is identified, buds are taken to the tissue culture laboratory. The buds are forced into producing a multitude of new raspberry plants. These plants are then taken to the greenhouse where they grow to transplanting size. Plants are available for sale to other growers as well as planted in our production fields. Listed below are the cultivars that are available at this time. Please contact us for more information.
