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.

Always loved raspberries but found them difficult to grow in this climate. Since purchasing Heritage variety from Daleys and establsihing them in pots, I've harvested almost a kilo in the first year. The added bonus of a 2nd fruiting in Autumn is a great feature.

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 - Chilliwack ^9/10

Comments: -

Planted in winter of 2008 and fruited that year from the primacane (small last years cane) that it shipped with. I only started off with 5 canes and expect to get 3 times that amount this year. A summer fruiting variety where you have to leave this years new canes in to fruit next year (and then cut them out). Better tasting in my opinion than Williamette and Heritage. As with all rasberries- will crop up outside of the area you plant it via growth from the roots

Does prefer some shelter from afternoon/hot sun. This is planted in the coolest/wettest part of my garden- with a retaining wall and fence to the north, shorter wall and fence to the east and plum tree planted to the south. The grass in this area used to get moss growing on it in winter.

Lots and lots of organic matter, bentonite clay added (to sandy soil) to keep them moist.  This variety does not have prickly thorns. (Previously I said it did have thorns- that was a typo)

Update 2012 I get heaps of raspberries through summer into autumn off my patch- pleasantly surprised as to how well these go and the flavour is far superior to shop bought.

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.
