UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2019

Had 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 attractive to the birds around here. Very happy with this, highly recommended.

INITIAL

Had never heard of a native raspberry so looking forward to it fruiting and sampling the fruit's taste. Has been pretty vigourous in the cane berry patch but placed in the centre so the chances of it escaping are reduced (thanks for the heads up!)

raspberry - Chilliwack (Cutting) ^8/10

Comments: -

2012 Winter: I bought this variety after reading on this forum that they are quiet tasty compare to the others. I bought 2 strong cuttings and put them in 40L pots wth sheep manure, slow release fertiisers and lots of pea straw to stop moisture loss. I love that this raspberry variety is completely throne free! It will be great when time comes to harvest.

Will update later on in the year if I have any success with growing these guys.

Raspberry - Heritage (Cutting) ^8/10

I bought this Heritage variety last year. I never liked the store bought raspberries. My sister-in law suggested growing my own as the berries you get fresh are quiet sweet tasting.  I tried it and absolutely loved it. I got around 2 punnets from one plant in the first year of growing. The plant is quiet easy to grow and fruit. They are so easy to multiple! I grow mine in pots and noticed this that the roots have grown through the holes at the bttom of the pots and have sprouted new suckers into the ground. The ground around it is muddy and full of gravels, only weeds ever tried to grow there...These raspberries are a welcoming surprise.

I did not find pest to be an issue with raspberries. One issue I had was with strong wind tearing up the leaves. Luckly this winter, strong wind wasn't a problem. The other thing that was an issue was the hot summer. Raspberries tend to not like hot weather and I had to remember to water the plants more often during this season.

Raspberry - Nootka (Cutting) ^8/10

Comments: -

This was an impulse purchase. I saw them for sale at the nursery in clear plastic bag. They were only small cuttings but they looked strong and had heaps of buds and new suckers. I don't have a clue what these sort of berries these guys will produce but I bought it anyway. Luckily, after some further research, it turns out this variety are good growers that will give lots of sweet berries. 

I planted mine in 40L pots with lots of sheep manure and mulch. Finger cross they will do well in my gargen!

I have two of these.  One I bought recently for $5 from an old italian guy, at the market and the other I bought 2 years ago from bunnings (which died and then rejuvinated it self).  Both curently have fruit on them.  Soon I'll be planting them in a large tub and putting them up against the fence in a sunny position to climb up a trellis.
