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.

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.

We purchased this tuxedo for my son to wear at a family wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The fit was true to size, and the fabric had a really nice feel doesn't look cheap. The lapels and bow tie gave it that classic tuxedo look, and he looked so handsome. It also held up well after a night of dancing and photos. Highly recommend for any formal occasion where you want your little one to look sharp and feel comfortable!

Great for dressy occasions!
My son adores this suit! He really likes the bow tie that was included with it. The suit fits him very nicely - he's 10 and I ordered a size 10. He has commented several times how much he likes the material of the suit; he says it is soft but also feels like athletic material which I'm assuming means it moves well and stretches with him. He recently wore this to do the Scripture reading at our church, and we've gotten so many compliments on it since then. This suit is great for any dressy occasion - church, wedding, concert, etc. Because my son loves it so much, we'll probably buy a couple more in different colors for him. It's a great value for a quality three-piece suit plus tie!

A great value for the price.
Color: Black, Size: 12
I am very impressed with this suit! I got this for my boys for a formal dinner event and it didn't disappoint. This set is a great value and much better than buying all separate pieces. The fit is nice and the quality good enough for what we needed it for. Not top of the line but it doesn't look cheap and the black and white colors are true and crisp. You will definitely need to get this steamed or pressed but overall it's been a wonderful addition to my boys' wardrobe.

Little gentleman level : EXPERT!
Color: Black, Size: 4
This tuxedo set transformed my little guy into the sharpest-dressed attendee at the wedding. The slim fit blazer and double-breasted design look incredibly polished without being stiff or uncomfortable. The vest adds a nice touch of formality, and the bow tie? Instant charm overload. The pants fit true to size and have just enough stretch for toddler wiggles and running around (because you know he’s not just going to stand still). We got compliments all night—several people asked if it was custom-made! If you want your kiddo to look dashing and feel comfy enough to enjoy the party, this set nails it. Plus, it’s perfect for weddings, holidays, or any time you want to make the family photo extra classy.
