The first ever-bearing black raspberry, Niwot was developed by Pete Tallman in Longmont Colorado. Niwot is an early ripening, ever-bearing black raspberry with impressive yields and delicious fruit. It is a vigorous plant with impressive summer harvests and early fall ripening starting in late August. Plants produce an abundance of primocanes for additional harvest in late August through September. Fruits are larger than most black raspberries, glossy, sweet and with very small seeds ideal for fruit salad, pancakes or ice-cream. U.S. Plant Patent #27,131.
