Tried but DIED.

Actually did okay for quite a while. Grew and fruited in a pot okay, but was water and nutrient hungry in a pot. Moved it to the ground, was doing really well, but was strangled out by invasive Coastal Morning Glory at about the same time we had some wicked summer heat, and it died. I occassionally see a cane pop up in the corner where it was, so I don't know if I can call it truly dead, but the Morning Glory is just too dominant. They get strangled out again.

Was surprised it did alright in Brisbane. I'd like to try again some time, but I'm not in a hurry because the fruit wasn't that spectacular. I much prefer mulberries and panama berries anyway. I think I'd prefer to find things that are more prolific and tasty.

Really liked rich soil and water. Both in short supply in my very dry, hot, baked clay yard. And doesn't like competition from viciously invasive weeds.

Pollination: Cross Pollination

They are in a bed surrounded by concrete, so they can't escape. I have added another variety called Autumn Bliss.

Raspberries fruit on canes produced the previous season, which look exhausted when they have finished fruiting. Prune at ground level and tie in fresh, vigorous new canes, which will flower and fruit the following season. Remove dead or weak shoots anytime.
Keep mulch away from the base of stems. This reduces fungal diseases.
They benefit greatly from a sheltered site with shade from the afternoon sun.
Condition neutral or mildly alkaline soil by applying iron chelates during late winter. This also supplements iron.
At bud burst, apply two teaspoonfuls of Epsom salts and an equal amount of sulfate of potash to 4.5L of water, and water in around plants. This improves fruit flavour and disease resistance.
