Comments: - I love raspberries (so do my girls) and I'd love to grow my own.

Raspberry - Heritage (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: - Had my 1st fruit, despite a young plant. Very sour, more than store bought. Not sure if it was due to the extreme heat from summer but many leaves are burnt. If you're after a sweet raspberry flavour I wouldn't recommend. (It practically fell off the plant so I assume it was completely ripe).

Comments: -

Super fast growing plants even though they get minimal sun. The fruit taste delicious although I can only compare to store bought raspberries.

Flowering in spring the following year and fruit forming in November. Lots of new plants coming up. Fruit set in November, waiting to see if we get another crop in Autumn (no crop came in Autumn).

Fruits on growth tips so pinch out the tips as they grow so you end up with lots of branches and lots more fruit.

Raspberry - Autumn Bliss (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: -

Description: Very vigorous everbearing / autumn variety fruiting on primocanes not floricanes unlike summer bearing varieties. Keep contained so it does not take over the garden.

Flowers: White flowers on primocane tips. Flowers commence burst in mid October.

Fruit: Very large fruit with with good flavour and firmness.

Harvest: Bears from late January to late April.

Propagation: Dig out shoots that pop up between rows and plant elsewhere.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Soil: Plant in rich well-drained soil (slightly acid preferred, ideal pH 5.6 to 6.2). high in organic matter. Cow manure and compost added each spring.

Mulch: Add mulch during the growing season with organic matter to keep the shallow roots cool and protected.

Position: Protect from the hot sun in summer, burns easily.

Pruning:  Autumn fruiting raspberries (such as Heritage and Autumn Bliss) wake up from their winter slumber, form canes over spring and summer, then flower and set fruit during autumn. Once the canes finish fruiting, they die. This means that pruning is a simple matter of cutting all the canes of autumn fruiting varieties back to ground level in winter,  leaving a maximum of 10 strong canes.

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!!!!
