 Tropical Raspberry with Dark Fruit, Fast Growth & Bold Flavor

The Mysore Raspberry (Rubus niveus) is a tropical and subtropical fruiting bramble native to southern Asia, where it's long been grown for its deep purple-black berries, fast growth, and exceptional flavor. Unlike most raspberries that prefer cooler climates, Mysore thrives in warm, humid zones—making it a perfect choice for Florida, the Gulf Coast, and beyond. The berries are juicy, sweet-tart, and packed with antioxidants, and the plant bears fruit prolifically along arching canes. With silvery undersides on the leaves, dainty white blooms, and everbearing tendencies, Mysore is a flavorful, fast-growing addition to edible landscapes, hedgerows, or food forests.

 Why Grow Mysore Raspberry?

  • Tropical-adapted raspberry that thrives in Zones 8–11
  • Produces clusters of sweet-tart, dark purple berries
  • Fast-growing and everbearing in warm climates
  • Beautiful arching canes with silver-backed foliage
  • Supports pollinators and wildlife while feeding your family

Growing Tips:

Mysore Raspberry grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during fruiting, but avoid waterlogged roots. Canes may reach 6–10 ft and benefit from support or gentle trellising. Prune back older canes after harvest to encourage new growth. In frost-prone areas, protect roots with mulch or grow in large containers that can be moved under cover. Harvest berries when fully dark and easily removed from the stem.

    Nice hard to find plants.

    The only raspberry that grows well in Florida heat and has become very difficult to find. Received healthy plants in a timely manner.

    Good in central florida

    I’ve grown this plant. In central Florida, it does well along a fence but needs a lot of sun. In dry weather it will need some water, as well. The canes are long and thorny but I tie them to the fence. Birds like the fruit also, which is a Good Thing because the plants produce a LOT. Raspberries bloom on new canes so each year I cut off the old canes. Recommended.
