Prelude Raspberry is an exceptional early-season red raspberry known for its reliable production, excellent flavor, and ability to produce one of the first raspberry harvests of the year. It’s a favorite among gardeners who want to start picking fresh berries earlier than most other varieties.
The berries are medium-sized, bright red, and have a classic raspberry flavor that is well-balanced and slightly sweet with a hint of tartness. Prelude is especially valued for its early ripening and consistent yields, making it a dependable choice for home gardens and fresh eating.
This variety primarily produces a large early summer crop on second-year canes, with the potential for a lighter fall crop on new growth under the right conditions.
Prelude raspberries are an excellent choice for gardeners looking to extend their harvest season by pairing early, mid, and late varieties.

Growing Information
Prelude raspberries perform best in full sun with well-drained soil. Provide consistent moisture during the growing season for best fruit quality. Prune canes after harvest or in late winter to maintain plant health and encourage strong production.
Pollination
Self-fertile — does not require another variety to produce fruit, though planting multiple raspberry varieties can help extend the harvest season and improve overall yield.
