Moderate summer crop with heavier, superior fall crop. An excellent variety for the home gardener and also grown commercially in many areas. Amity Developed at the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in Corvallis. Large, firm, dark red berries with classic raspberry flavor and superior quality. Excellent for fesh market.
Amity is good for shipping, freezing, and canning.
Amity is also aphid resistant. Amity involves two crops. The Fall crop will tend to be heavier if the canes are mowed, as the plant does not use any energy to ripen the Spring crop. Amity is a week or so earlier than Heritage but does not bear quite as heavily. Amity does not pick as well as Heritage because the berry sticks to the plug until quite ripe.
