Spring 2008: This was a gift from a friend. I beleive that it is an Atherton Rasberry (rubus probus which is also known as rubus fraxinifolius) (see http://asgap.org.au/APOL22/jun01-1.html).

The fruit are awesome! So tastey and it is so prolific. It fruits early too so I haven't had any trouble at all with fruit fly (unlike the blackberries).

It is not at vigorous as the non-native rasberries but it still spreads so I keep it in a pot. The canes are also shorter and mostly self-supporting so you don't need to prop them up. It drinks a lot and will get droopy if you let it dry out. It has been fruiting for about 2 months now and there are still flowers coming!

I have orders for canes from all my friends but I don't know when they'll get any because I am NOT disturbing it til it stops fruiting! YUMMERS!!!!!

Autumn 2011: I think that we have a brave kangaroo that has developed a liking for the leaves. I went out this morning to find a branch completely leafless. Kindly it ate around the flowers. It is a discerning animal too as it only ate the leaves from ONE of the bushes! :O)

Spring 2011: We've been enjoying fruit since the very beginning of spring. So yummy. The fruit is at its best just before it or immediately after it has fallen. Don't PULL them off because they won't be as tastey. Tickle them a bit and if they fall off on their own then they are perfect.

I cut off all the finished fruit stalks. I find that this encourages new grow and flowers which means more fruit!!

This year we have had a LOT of heavy spring rain and a lot of the fruit was damaged, either by getting knocked off and smashed into the ground or the mud was splashing up so high that it was getting embedded into the fruit. To prevent fruit loss I build a garden bed   around the pot and filled it with peas straw. The soft straw provides a soft landing for the fruit and I haven't lost any since.

Summer 2011: We have had a visit from our kangaroo again. Though I think that it might have developed a preference for the native violets in one of the other pots as there was only a little damage to the raspberry. Maybe it got a thorn in its mouth?

Raspberry - Summer Fruiting

Comments: -

Make sure that you keep them contained cause they go nuts! From my original plant bought in August 2009 I had 6 plants by November 2009!

They need support. I've used She-oaks and gum tree as a trellis. They also like lots of water to make sure that they can fruit well.

2009: I haven't gotten any fruit yet because the original plant had to stay at the old house and the new canes came with me. Being that they don't fruit on the newest canes I missed out this year but next year there will be rasberries aplenty.

2010: so much fruit!!!!

I bought this from Bunnings and planted it into a 45cm grow bag. It has fruited last year with a couple of raspberries.  I made my own soil mix , which includes sand from the vegie patch and I don't think this has been very good. I will repot next year in premium potting mix. I cut them back in winter to ground level and they are shooting well.  I've located my raspberries in a side terrace where they get the sun in the middle of the day for a few hours then shade morning and afternoon. They seem to like it there.

I am growing this a in a 45lt growbag in semi-shaded position. The soil was one that I made using sand from the vegetable garden, which in hindsight was a mistake. I will repot these next winter into premium potting mix. Otherwise they are growing ok and floweing. I wasn't sure that the winter would be cold enough to set flowering but it seems to have been.
