I have been Growing Raspberries for a bit over a year. Here is a picture I took a couple of days ago of them.

Perhaps you will get fruit this time next year once it has a bit more time to establish.

Shaun I have them.

You can get them from Diggers, but they sold out for this year I think.

We got Heritage, Williamette and Chillwack.

You grow the autumn fruiters as an annual ie chop back after fruiting.

The summer ones, grow in the first year and have a small autumn crop, tip the canes after fruiting. The next year these bear a full size summer crop and are then chopped out. That years shoots then have an autumn crop and so on and son on.

Search NSW Ag Dept for the VERY helpful info sheet.

Hi John,
May I buy a cane of cutting of each variety from you, please.
I am trying to grow them in pots.
It is more convenient since you are in Perth.

Shaun says...
Thanks John,
If you get the collection, I think they gave you 5 Heritage, 5 Chilliwack and 2 Williamette.
If you cannot spare the Williamette, you may be able to sell 1 Heritage and 1 Chilliwack to me.
Thanks again

Diggers just notified me that my raspberry canes were dispatched at the 1st of July (have been in quarantine).

Can't wait to get them (5 each of Chilliwack, Williamette and Heritage).

Had 1 x heritage and 2 x chillwack put aside for you, but ended up swapping them for a semi dawrf ganny smith -MM106 rootstock (60% size).

I can get you some later when these plants sprout up and grow a bit, this will be quite a while.

OR Bunnings Belmont have no name raspberries near the tills inside the plastic bag bulb section. I have grown these before, they are OK but not great.

OR do you want me to order some from Diggers for you, with my next order?

OK, if I get some runners, will let you know.

BTW guys- your right you get 5,5 and 2 with the "collection" but I ordered mine as individual canes- bit confusing initially- as my first order was for 5 individual canes of 2 varieties (i.e. 10 canes total)- and when the third variety became available- I ordered 1 lot- which was 5 canes.

Nearly all of mine are in the ground except for 2 I put aside in a pot- the two in the pot are sprouting much more strongly- mainly because the pot is heating up faster than the ground.

Thanks for the info, John.
I'll go Belmont Bunnings in the weekend ..... and hope it will still be available.

Bunnings in Riverton (High Street) got heaps of bare rooted rasberry cane (Williamette cultivar) for sale !!!
I was there on Sunday, and got myself a packet of this cane.
There were 12 packets of cane when I was there .....
so be quick before they are sold out !!!
