Description
Anne is a yellow raspberry known for a gentle banana note behind its raspberry flavor, carried in large, pale gold, conic berries. That flavor develops most fully where summer nights run cool.
It fruits on new canes the same year they grow, with a late season crop that extends the raspberry harvest well into fall.
