Raspberries.

Please, just one

 

Hahaha ... sorry!

Glen cova is really early - starts about the time that the Strawberries finish. At the other end of the scale Heritage is only just about ready now.

All Gold we always have at August Bank Holiday, and I guess it runs a couple of weeks into September, maybe even a bit later.

Autumn Bliss comes as All Gold is shutting up shop, so Mid September onwards. I reckon that is as late as you want to aim for.

I'm not mad about All Gold. It tastes just like a Raspberry of course, but its the wrong colour. People just don't enjoy it as much, for that reason, I reckon.

 

Thanks Kristen.

Sounds like Glen Cova might suit me, considering that I only have space for 10 plants, at most.

 

Glen Clova is a good choice,mine did really well this year....it's an early cropper though...was it specifically an Autumn fruiting Rasp you were after Freddy?

 

Yes..

 

I don't grow Autumn Rasps but i'd go for Autumn Bliss if i did...

 

Thing is, autumn ones sound a lot easier to manage...

 

I get what you mean Freddy....i understand you just cut the whole lot back to ground February time....where as you need to pick among the fruiting stems and cut back after fruiting with the early ones and they need tying in but it's not too fiddly

 

All mine get exactly the same treatment - although as Loli says you cut back the stems that have fruited this year, and for an Autumn Fruiting variety that is 100% of the stems whereas for Summer Fruiting its a mix of cutting out the ones that fruited this year, and leaving the new canes which will fruit next year. I don't tie any of mine up (although best you don't take that as a recommendation!)
