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.

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 Posts: 49 View All Shaun's Edible Fruit Trees |

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 John20 Perth 30th June 2008 3:04pm #UserID: 1094 Posts: 287 View All John20's Edible Fruit Trees |

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?

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 WA/Perth 14th July 2008 8:44pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

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 Itdepends2 19th August 2008 12:03am #UserID: 884 Posts: 41 View All Itdepends2'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 perth 17th October 2008 1:56pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

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 16th November 2008 9:26am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

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 Posts: 36 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.

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 Gold Coast 31st March 2009 9:53pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

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.

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 Michael12 Perth 2nd May 2009 2:30am #UserID: 2262 Posts: 1 View All Michael12's Edible Fruit Trees |

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 Itdepends2 3rd May 2009 10:01pm #UserID: 884 Posts: 41 View All Itdepends2'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.

Pink35 says... Does anyone know where I can buy a native rasberry plant from? Botanical Name: Rubus sp. The native raspberries are small to medium prickly shrubs, some being scramblers. The photograph shows Rubus moluccanus also known as Rubus hillii. This species has a metallic sheen on the underside of the leaf. It bears white flowers followed by 10 mm red berries in spring to summer.

Jan says... Hi I grow raspberries in Canberra - they fruit on 2 year old canes although you do sometimes get a few fruit on younger ones. About September/October I remove all of the dead canes- they are easy to see then as they go a dark brown in colour and just fall out of the ground. You will then be left with two and one year old canes. | About the Author Jan Canberra 9th January 2010 12:23pm #UserID: 3221 Posts: 5 View All Jan's Edible Fruit Trees |

Charles cant spell says... Bunning Innaloo had some the other day, Lena Nursery also had some today. Als ocould try WAldecks, just ring around I have seen a few, bunnings gets them in as little root stocks and puts them near the bulbs and seed potatoes sometimes. Also can get Jewruselum Artichokes there. I have a few but I killed a lot of what I have as most of my soil is around 8 ph and the raspberries dont like that.

Shaun says... hi hawkypork, If you'd read the earlier posts about, I think John and Jimmy got reasonable success from their Raspberry plants. I used to have Chilliwack and Williamette grown in pots, and I got some berries from my plants. Jimmy gave me a Heritage cane which I also planted in a pot. Unfortunately, all my 3 pots of Raspberry bushes were killed by the extreme summer heat this year when I was away on a 'fly-out' trip. Can't say for sure whether my Raspberry plants were prolific bearers, because they were grown in pots to curb the rampant spread of raspberry runners. Nevertheless, I do get some berries. | About the Author WA / Perth 15th September 2010 12:34am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

nthnbchsMelissa says... What size pot is best used for growing the Raspberries in? I've just order one from Daleys Fruit as was going to put it in the vege garden but reading this thread feel it might be better in a pot.... so need to know what size pot and then do they need repotting? I don't have any raspberry pictures so have attached some of my passionfruit flowers I've been hand pollinating - has been very successful.

tecko says... I suggest using a 60L black bin obtainable from Bunnings (around $10). You'll find that even with one or two canes planted in it, your whole bin will be filled with them after one summer. In my case, I pulled them all up, but I still find the odd ones growing here and there in my vegie patch.

Donovan says... I have two raspberry plants, one bush (chilliwack I think) from Bunnings, and one Nelly Kelly cane. Both are only planted several weeks back. The cane is growing well but the Chilliwack leaves are pretty crispy, turning brown from the outside in. Its never had full sun, just morning followed by shade. Also plenty of water as the water gauge shows moderate moist soil.

kert says... Hate to be the pimented man in the woodpile,however the best thing about the Heritage var. of raspberry is its appearance.

Raspberry's everywhere says... Best advice :grow,eat and make your own mind up easy . Product Description: The Heritage Raspberry, 'Rubus 'Heritage', has medium-sized red berries that have very good flavor and quality. It is exceptional for fresh eating or for making pies and jams. The medium sized fruits have good color and flavor, firmness, and freezing quality. Heritage is an outstanding everbearing variety that produces a crop in mid-July and then again in early September. They are disease-resistant, highly productive, easy-to-grow and will bear fruit the first year. The Heritage red raspberry has been given the 2004 Outstanding Fruit Cultivar Award by the American Society of Horticultural Sciences. http://www.naturehills.com/product/heritage_raspberry.aspx Make the Heritage Raspberry Plant part of your home orchard for easy to grow fruit. An ever bearing red raspberry, harvest the Heritage Raspberries in June with a second crop in September. High quality with an excellent, mild flavor, the Heritage Raspberry Plants are excellent good fresh or in jams. Heritage is a classic name in raspberries, a red variety with sweet flavor and great holding ability on the vine. Unlike some varieties, Heritage won't fall to pieces if you delay picking the ripe fruit a day or two; it stays firm, juicy, and super-flavorful. Plants are very vigorous and resist Powdery Mildew. This is the prize that causes eager berry lovers to flock to pick-your-own patches. Easiest of all to grow. http://www.landsteward.com/page.cfm/11332 | About the Author 23rd April 2011 12:11am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Chris says... Anyone can selectively quote. Quoting from a USA nursery whose prime motive is to sell plants is hardly an impartial view. Heritage is an American variety btw. Here's what the DPI NSW has to say for an objective opinion: "The fruit is small to medium sized, firm with FAIR flavour." And being an autumn bearing cane note the issue for cooler areas: (DPI again) "In cooler areas fruit may cease ripening before harvest is complete." Can't ripen them post harvest unfortunately. The variety I'd like to get my hands on is Bogong, a Victorian bred variety, said by the DPI to have excellent flavour. | About the Author Chris Sydney 24th April 2011 12:33pm #UserID: 2281 Posts: 263 View All Chris 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Have to agree with adamus about growing conditions, our raspberries (given to me, variety unknown) are normally delicious but with this very cool autumn(no ripe autumn figs, sob) we've had they have been superb. I've also noticed that unlike other fruit that gets sweeter and more flavourful the riper it gets, raspberries are better picked as soon as they are fully coloured and not left to ripen further.

They are a little prickly but produce quite a lot of very nice fruit - oddly enough all through winter this year.

My only concern is some of the leaves lower on the plant are turning yellow, anyone have any ideas as to why? I'm hoping to taste my first raspberries this year. Also, I'd like to plant a couple more, but kind of the wrong time of year to buy canes. Anyone know of anywhere in Perth with some available? Lissa: Great looking berries, glad to see success!

Once summer fruiting season is over I would be able to do some canes if you preferred and they would post unlike the runners. I'm north of Brisbane - where are you? I'll email.

Unless I figure out how to arrange it in a more shaded spot, I was thinking of constructing a structure over it with shade cloth, which would shade it from the sun, wind and protect from birds...I was thinking of just putting netting on the sides to allow a breeze, bees, etc. I was thinking of making it about 1.5m wide and 6m long (Southern fence) with a trellis in teh middle for the canes to grow up... Does anyone think my idea might work (or better yet, had success growing them in hot regions under shade cloth)??? cheers, gabs | About the Author gabs Adelaide 27th August 2013 2:26pm #UserID: 8045 Posts: 20 View All gabs's Edible Fruit Trees |
