My Edible Fruit Trees: Raspberry Trees

Raspberry - Atherton (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: -

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!)

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.

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).
