Encore Raspberry – Atlantic Canada

The Encore Raspberry is a vigorous, high-yielding red raspberry variety developed by Cornell University, prized for its ability to bridge the gap between traditional summer-bearing and fall-bearing raspberries. Well suited for growers in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, Encore offers reliable production and excellent fruit quality in cooler climates.

Encore produces large, firm red berries with outstanding flavor and good post-harvest performance. The fruit is ideal for fresh eating, baking, freezing, and preserving. Its strong, nearly spineless canes make harvesting easier and more enjoyable for home gardeners.

This variety delivers a dependable harvest in late summer, with the potential for extended picking into fall under favorable growing conditions. With its vigorous growth, high yields, and adaptable harvest window, the Encore Raspberry is an excellent choice for backyard gardens and small berry patches across Atlantic Canada.
