Summary

A late-season summer-bearing raspberry bred to fill the harvest gap between early summer and fall varieties.

Rubus 'Encore' was developed by the Cornell University Small Fruit Breeding Program and released in 1980 from a cross of Canby and Cherokee. Bred to ripen later in the summer-bearing window, Encore fills an important role for gardeners who want to extend fresh raspberry picking into late July and early August before everbearing varieties begin.

In late spring, the plants produce white blossoms that attract pollinators and develop into large, firm, bright red berries. The fruit has a balanced sweet flavor with enough depth to stand out in fresh eating, freezing, and preserves. The nearly thornless, erect canes are vigorous and productive, making Encore one of the more manageable raspberry varieties in the garden.

Encore also shows moderate tolerance to phytophthora root rot, giving it an edge in gardens where drainage is less than perfect.

Care

Encore Raspberry Care

Plant in full sun for the best berry production. Raspberry plants perform best with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day.

Provide fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture during the growing season. While Encore shows some tolerance to root rot, good drainage is still important. Mulching with organic material helps conserve moisture and reduce weed competition.

Encore is a summer-bearing (floricane) variety, producing fruit on second-year canes. After harvest, remove the spent fruiting canes at ground level and allow new first-year canes to develop for the following season. Thin canes during late winter to maintain good airflow and strong production.

If desired, apply a light feeding of slow release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy cane development and fruit production.

Additional Information

What are some common names for this plant?

This plant is commonly known as Encore raspberry or Encore red raspberry.

What makes Encore different from other raspberry varieties?

Encore was bred at Cornell to ripen later in the summer-bearing season, bridging the gap between early summer raspberries and fall everbearing types. Its nearly thornless canes, large fruit, and moderate root rot tolerance distinguish it from older varieties.

Is Encore a summer-bearing or everbearing raspberry?

Encore is a summer-bearing (floricane-fruiting) raspberry. It produces fruit on second-year canes, with the harvest arriving in late July to early August in most climates.

Do Encore raspberry plants spread?

Raspberry plants naturally produce new canes from their roots, gradually expanding into productive berry patches if space allows. Regular management of suckers helps keep the planting tidy.

Where do Encore raspberries fit best in the landscape?

Encore raspberries work well in berry gardens, kitchen gardens, and edible landscapes. Explore more fruit-producing plants in our Berries and Fruit & Vegetable Plants collections.

My little Chiwoxy (Chihuahua & wire terrier) loves them all!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
I was a little nervous to order this set of toys, I worried that they would be sort of junky or dollar store quality. They definitely are not! My little Mia Bella loves this toy set. Her favorite thing to do is for me to stuff them all in the box they came in, so she can rummage through and each of them out one by one to play with. Empty box, starts all over again. There is a nice variety of soft plush squeakers, soft crinkly toys, ropes with rubber shapes on the ends, ropes with knots, and different kind of balls (some rubber, some rope, some soft plastic spikes). My puppy is very small and I was worried they would be too big for her - they are the perfect size and she loves each and every one of them. Also included were some rolls of poo bags and a plastic holder to hook onto your leash to hold them - I was happy these were included, I hadn’t noticed them on the description, so they were a surprise. I feel like these toys are a great value and provide a small dog with a lot of fun things to play with. The variety is great so you’re not having to spend money on buying a whole bunch of different things. I am very happy with this purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone else with a smaller sized dog. I think they might be too small for a very large dog but who knows, they are likely going to be fun for any dog to play with.

Great selection of dog toys at a good price!
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
Lots of great toys for your little little dog at a reasonable price. Even comes with doggie poop bags. At any of my local dog shops just one of the ropes would cost me the same as the whole box of toys.

Excellent Variety Pack - Dogs Love These Toys
Color: 25 Pack (Value-Toys)
This 25-pack is fantastic value with excellent variety—ropes, squeakers, and different textures keep dogs entertained. They're colorful, well-made, and my dogs love them. The main downside is the chew resistance on the rubber toys isn't the best; aggressive chewers can break through them fairly quickly. That said, for the price and the sheer number of toys you get, it's still a solid buy. Perfect for rotation and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. Just know that heavy chewers might go through the rubber ones faster than expected.
