Joan J Everbearing Raspberry is a bushy deciduous shrub with thornless canes primarily grown for its fruit.  There are two main flushes of small white flowers that give way to the large ruby pink berries with a rich sweet-tangy flavor in mid summer and again in late summer until frost.  Grows best in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.  Joan J is self-fruiting and has excellent disease resistance.
