Jon M starts with ... Hi everyone in Perth, I was wondering if any one is growing any of the native raspberries here in Perth? Or if you know if they would even survive? | About the Author John Gingin 30th November 2012 3:59pm #UserID: 1758 Posts: 99

Jon M says... I think they come from Qld or aleast the East coast. I dont think your allowed to get them through quarantine thats why I was wondering if anyone already had them here in WA. I am not even shure if they would grow here, but I do like a challenge and the unusual. | About the Author John Gingin 1st December 2012 8:46pm #UserID: 1758 Posts: 99

amanda says... People grow 'regular' raspberries in Perth Jon M - so a native type should be fine I would have thought..?
Do u mean the Atherton Raspberry..? | About the Author amanda19 Leschenault (160kms south of Perth) 5th December 2012 10:24pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607

Jon M says... Hi Amanda, yes its the Atherton Raspberries that I was after. Not sure if they would grow here but would like to give it a go. Something different and I like pulling my hair out when something dosn't work out :) | About the Author John Gingin 9th December 2012 12:24am #UserID: 1758 Posts: 99

amanda says... I think they will grow Jon M - it gets cold on the Atherton Tablelands too..!? Maybe Mike or Brendan would know more tho...?
Summer might be more the problem...if they behave like regular raspberries..? | About the Author amanda19 Leschenault (160kms south of Perth) 12th December 2012 10:58am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607

Mike says... They grow at higher altitudes to at least 1300m and places that get below 0.Dry hot conditions would be the challenge for Atherton Raspberries. | About the Author

Jon M says... So I guess with our summers over here it might be a little too much for them. I will have to think some other plant to look for then for now. Though I think I would still give it a go if I got hold of one. | About the Author John Gingin 12th December 2012 11:57am #UserID: 1758 Posts: 99
