No fruit yet but starting to flower already in this warmer weather. Prickly as all hell but the fruit (hoping from this one) is great

I have missed having Atherton Raspberries in the garden, the fruit is very light in taste but you sure get an abundance for a long period.

Growing super fast and started flowering almost straight away. Seems like a winner.

I really want to grow native fruit so I was excited to be able to order a raspberry plant from Queensland! While only a small plant when I received it, fruit is already beginning to appear on it only a couple of months after planting.

first year in the ground and i have gotten that many fruit from it, yes it will spread quickly, and big thorns, but with this many fruit, well worth buying this plants

Great producer, but i have kept it in a pot. Already gotten fruit this year and i live in Melbourne. So under the right conditions, it can do quite well.

Puechased the plant in March 2020 and planted into a large pot. Picked my first fruit 14th June 2020 and much sweeter than the supermarket ones. Growing this on the Sunshine Coast.

Great raspberry plant! Started getting consistent fruit from the first winter it was in the ground (about 9 months after planting it), Doesnt require much maintenance. Only pick the fruit when it easily falls off.
SUNBURY, VIC, Australia
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2019Had my first Atherton raspberry - fruit was delicious, larger than European raspberry and I think actually better. Fruit looked glorious in the sun, almost a metallic sheen to it which was very pretty, but also did not seem to be a...

First year it fruited the fruit was a little bland (I expected this as it was still very tiny and young) It has fruited again this winter with much higher yield and the fruit is very delicious and great quality! Grown in 80L pot.

Quick growing, prolific producer and hardy. It is a great plant for general consumption and as an additive to sauces, chutney and jams. I recommend keeping in a pot as can be invasive.

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) The fruit are awesome! So tastey and it is so prolific. It fruits early too so I haven't had any trouble ...

This is a great article on native raspberries: http://asgap.org.au/APOL22/jun01-1.html

Lots of nice fruit, but plant needs to be kept under control as can become invasive, spreads very quickly from underground running roots.
Raspberry - Atherton
Great producer, I have had nearly 6 months of fruit this year, you can pick fruit nearly every day, not as tasty as the regular Raspberry, but worthwhile in any garden, watch the thorns though.
