Discover the revolutionary Shekinah 'Tahi' Black Raspberry Plant, a true horticultural marvel bred at Shekinah Berry in Auckland, New Zealand. This plant proudly stands as the world's first completely spineless black raspberry variety, a significant breakthrough in berry cultivation. The name 'Tahi,' which translates to 'Number One' in M?ori, aptly reflects its premier status. Unlike traditional spiny black raspberry cultivars, the Shekinah 'Tahi' exhibits a vigorous and more upright growth, making it a standout addition to any garden with its ease of maintenance and aesthetic appeal. The Shekinah 'Tahi' mirrors the harvest season of the well-known Jewel variety, ensuring a generous yield of fruit. Each berry is a delight, large in size, weighing up to 4.5 grams, and characterized by a rich, deep black hue. The berries possess a medium firm texture, ideal for a range of culinary uses, from fresh consumption to delectable preserves. While the tightly clustered arrangement of the fruit might pose a slight challenge for early picking, this is greatly offset by the plant's spineless nature. This key feature simplifies the harvesting and pruning process, making it a less daunting task compared to traditional varieties. The Shekinah 'Tahi' is not just a plant; it's a testament to innovative cultivation, offering gardeners a unique, hassle-free experience in growing and enjoying luscious black raspberries.
