Anne is a popular yellow raspberry released by the cooperative breeding program of Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, and Wisconsin. This fall-bearing variety produces large, pale yellow berries with a very sweet, dessert-like flavor that stands out in mixed packs and specialty displays. Ripening at roughly the same time as Heritage, Anne extends the season with a unique color and taste that customers remember.

Plants are vigorous and productive, carrying firm berries that handle picking and short-term storage well for a yellow type. Anne is well suited to Zones 4–7 and offers excellent winter hardiness, making it a reliable choice for northern gardens and farms that want something special beyond standard red raspberries. For home gardeners and u-pick operations looking to add a distinctive, high-flavor fall bearer, Anne is an excellent fit.
