Comments: - I love raspberries (so do my girls) and I'd love to grow my own.

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).

Super fast growing plants even though they get minimal sun. The fruit taste delicious although I can only compare to store bought raspberries.

Flowering in spring the following year and fruit forming in November. Lots of new plants coming up. Fruit set in November, waiting to see if we get another crop in Autumn (no crop came in Autumn).

Fruits on growth tips so pinch out the tips as they grow so you end up with lots of branches and lots more fruit.

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 - Summer Fruiting

Comments: -

Make sure that you keep them contained cause they go nuts! From my original plant bought in August 2009 I had 6 plants by November 2009!

They need support. I've used She-oaks and gum tree as a trellis. They also like lots of water to make sure that they can fruit well.

2009: I haven't gotten any fruit yet because the original plant had to stay at the old house and the new canes came with me. Being that they don't fruit on the newest canes I missed out this year but next year there will be rasberries aplenty.

2010: so much fruit!!!!

Spring 2008: This was a gift from a friend. I beleive that it is an Atherton Rasberry (rubus probus which is also known as rubus fraxinifolius)

The fruit are awesome! So tastey and it is so prolific. It fruits early too so I haven't had any trouble at all with fruit fly (unlike the blackberries).

It is not at vigorous as the non-native rasberries but it still spreads so I keep it in a pot. The canes are also shorter and mostly self-supporting so you don't need to prop them up. It drinks a lot and will get droopy if you let it dry out. It has been fruiting for about 2 months now and there are still flowers coming!

I have orders for canes from all my friends but I don't know when they'll get any because I am NOT disturbing it til it stops fruiting! YUMMERS!!!!!

Autumn 2011: I think that we have a brave kangaroo that has developed a liking for the leaves. I went out this morning to find a branch completely leafless. Kindly it ate around the flowers. It is a discerning animal too as it only ate the leaves from ONE of the bushes! :O)

Spring 2011: We've been enjoying fruit since the very beginning of spring. So yummy. The fruit is at its best just before it or immediately after it has fallen. Don't PULL them off because they won't be as tastey. Tickle them a bit and if they fall off on their own then they are perfect.

I cut off all the finished fruit stalks. I find that this encourages new grow and flowers which means more fruit!!

This year we have had a LOT of heavy spring rain and a lot of the fruit was damaged, either by getting knocked off and smashed into the ground or the mud was splashing up so high that it was getting embedded into the fruit. To prevent fruit loss I build a garden bed   around the pot and filled it with peas straw. The soft straw provides a soft landing for the fruit and I haven't lost any since.

Summer 2011: We have had a visit from our kangaroo again. Though I think that it might have developed a preference for the native violets in one of the other pots as there was only a little damage to the raspberry. Maybe it got a thorn in its mouth?
