Correy says... I have been Growing Raspberries for a bit over a year. Here is a picture I took a couple of days ago of them. Perhaps you will get fruit this time next year once it has a bit more time to establish.

Shaun says... I was tols Willemet is the main summer fruting variety, that fruits on previous year's (2 year old) canes ..... Heritage and Autumn Bliss are autumn-bearing varieties where fruits are set on new (1-year old) canes.... and Chilliwack is an early-bearing variety ..... Where can I buy these raspberry varieties, please. Thnx. | About the Author Shaun WA/Perth 29th June 2008 2:16am #UserID: 730 |

John says... Shaun I have them. You can get them from Diggers, but they sold out for this year I think. We got Heritage, Williamette and Chillwack. You grow the autumn fruiters as an annual ie chop back after fruiting. The summer ones, grow in the first year and have a small autumn crop, tip the canes after fruiting. The next year these bear a full size summer crop and are then chopped out. That years shoots then have an autumn crop and so on and son on. Search NSW Ag Dept for the VERY helpful info sheet. | About the Author John Perth 30th June 2008 3:04pm #UserID: 1094 |

John says... Shaun Had 1 x heritage and 2 x chillwack put aside for you, but ended up swapping them for a semi dawrf ganny smith -MM106 rootstock (60% size). I can get you some later when these plants sprout up and grow a bit, this will be quite a while. OR Bunnings Belmont have no name raspberries near the tills inside the plastic bag bulb section. I have grown these before, they are OK but not great. OR do you want me to order some from Diggers for you, with my next order? J | About the Author John Perth 14th July 2008 11:37am #UserID: 1094 |

Shaun says... Thanks, John .... and thnx fer yer SMS reply this morning too ..... I think Diggers have run out of stock for raspberries .... I prefer named varieties, if possible ... and I only want 1 of each variety as I have very limited space ... well, perhaps next season when you order more raspberries, I'll buy some off from you, John. | About the Author Shaun WA/Perth 14th July 2008 8:44pm #UserID: 0 |

Itdepends says... BTW guys- your right you get 5,5 and 2 with the "collection" but I ordered mine as individual canes- bit confusing initially- as my first order was for 5 individual canes of 2 varieties (i.e. 10 canes total)- and when the third variety became available- I ordered 1 lot- which was 5 canes. Nearly all of mine are in the ground except for 2 I put aside in a pot- the two in the pot are sprouting much more strongly- mainly because the pot is heating up faster than the ground. | About the Author Itdepends 19th August 2008 12:03am #UserID: 884 View All Itdepends's Edible Fruit Trees![]() |

Manda says... I got 4 of the Williamette Raspberry canes from Bunnungs. I planted them in the ground. 3 of them got the green leaves quickly. About a month on two of those canes with leaves - the leave died. They were getting watered. There is now just one with leaves and has about 6 flowers on it (almost more flowers than leaves. the soil is sound, which i put compost and sheep poo on, as well as a light does of azalea fertiliser. I also put some peat straw around them. Every fortnight i have been giving it a liquid drink with seaweed and fish. Any ideas on what happened with the leaves sunddenly dying off and is there anything i can do to rescue them. | About the Author Manda perth 17th October 2008 1:56pm #UserID: 0 |

Anonymous says... $35 each?- down in Bunbury they were selling for 45-$55 each depending on whether they were in Bunnings or a nursery- suprisingly though- when I checked yesterday Bunnings had sold every pot except for one (the raspberries). All I can say is at that price I'm glad I got mine from Diggers Daniel | About the Author Anonymous 16th November 2008 9:26am #UserID: 0 |

Liz says... Yikes, I thought the ones I bought a few years ago in West Swan were expensive at ~$7/pot! (compared to previous canes I'd got from Garden Express, but they stopped sending them to WA). (There used to be a nursery in West Swan with lots of fruit that I think must have closed? ...can't remember what it was called, but can't find it in the white pages or anything... anyone know what happened to it or whether it's still there?) ...those raspberries unfortunately died from my not getting the retic and shade organised early enough that summer... I might have to wait and buy canes next winter! Thanks for the info! :-) | About the Author Liz Perth 18th November 2008 2:36pm #UserID: 1639 View All Liz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Maureen says... Hi guys, I bought a couple of rasberry bushes from bunnings a couple of years ago. We live in the Hinterlant of the Gold Coast. I now have one bush that is sending out new shoots and have a lot of berries on them, the key is to cut them back hard each year. Our grand-daughter(2 years old) goes down with a pail to gather the fruit each weekend and eat it before her mother gets her hands on them, we think. It has just gone off, we have trimed it back big time and hoping for some great fruit next year. The fruit is so different to the ordinary rasberrys but tastes wonderful.

Shaun says... Hi John, Thanks for putting aside some Chilliwack & Heritage raspberry canes for me. You said you dug them out around Xmas/Boxing Day ..... I will be away fer a wee while in Mid-January 2009, and will get back to Perth on the 2nd week of Feb'09. Are you able to hold on to those canes until I am back to pick them up from you, please.

maureen says... Hi, I have grown rasberries here for the last couple of years. As pointed out previously, I needed to have fed them more. That is why they took a couple of years to flower and produce fruit. Hopefully, now that I have chooks, their menour and the hay form the coop will feed the plants. The other problem is that the plant is in the middle of the chicken run and the girls love the plant so much that they eat it. Beware, do not have you rasberry bush in the middle of the chicken coop.

Maureen says... The girls have not eaten the rasberry bush to death, but I am watching it. They need to learn what is my feed is not theirs. I think that I will probably have to buy a new plant to be away from the girls. I have one chook that thinks that the top of the coop is her domaine. "Little does she know'. she has reached to the rasberry bush this way. Maureen | About the Author Maureen Gold Coast 31st March 2009 9:53pm #UserID: 0 |

Maryanne says... Thankyou to everyone for the help on the raspberries. Also thankyou for the email. I had misplaced the address of the forum, so it is great to see the generous response. My next question would be, when do I plant them and what special care should I do? IE what kind of fertiliser? And do they grow best in large pots?

Maureen says... I am hoping that the chicken manure will help with the rasberry bush. It did not receive regular fertalising until now, it is now constant. I am not trying to directly fertalise my bush but wanting to do it indirectly with the bush beside the chicken coop. You cannot get better than that, hopefully. I need to look up permaculture notes on this and what I can do with this situation. Maureen | About the Author Maureen Mudgeeraba 8th April 2009 8:40pm #UserID: 582 |

Michael says... I am interested in people who have had success with raspberries in Perth. I am looking for the best place to plant them. I am thinking morning sun, since afternoon sun is supposed to kill them. How much shade can they have and still fruit? Perhaps afternoon sun with shadecloth would be good, as the shadecloth would protect them from the wind too. Our worst wind all comes from the morning sun direction. | About the Author Michael Perth 2nd May 2009 2:30am #UserID: 2262 |

Itdepends says... I've got mine in a 3 way- us shaped trellis run- with a plum tree planted in the middle. There's a high fence to the north and east- so it's the coldest, wettest spot in my garden. I still found that the fruit produced during high summer were poor- relatively dry- and the taste of the late spring/early summer varieties (chilliwack and williamette) was better than the summer variety I have - Heritage- which suffers more from the heat. In saying that- Heritage is still fruiting well into autumn (still picking now) and the quality/juiciness/flavour has improved in the late season. BTW- I'm in Bunbury- a little cooler than Perth- but pretty close. Daniel | About the Author Itdepends 3rd May 2009 10:01pm #UserID: 884 View All Itdepends's Edible Fruit Trees![]() |

Maureen says... My plant is now fruiting, and this is in Mudgeeraba, QLD. We have a very cold winter here, down to 0 some mornings, but no frost. We are too high in the mountains. The fruiting is just starting, one only berry so far. The chooks are looking at it frequently, and I am worried if I am going to get any fruit from it this year and if I need to get a new plant elsewhere next year. I have one tuber coming up under the chicken coop. We will wait and see. Maureen | About the Author Maureen Mudgeeraba 5th May 2009 9:14pm #UserID: 582 |
