A row of red summer raspberries and a yellow autumn raspberry give a longer, more colourful picking season.
Soft, juicy berries, sweet with fresh acidity; choose ripe fruit that detaches easily.
Sheltered and sunny, with moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Compact cultivars suit a large pot.
Summer raspberries on wires: Install posts and horizontal supports. Plant a row with space between the canes. Tie in young and fruiting canes separately. After harvest, cut out only the canes that have fruited.
Compact cultivar in a pot: Choose a large pot with drainage. Plant Ruby Beauty with support. Check moisture and feeding during growth. Thin so that light reaches between the canes.
Summer-fruiting cultivars: remove spent fruiting canes after harvest; keep young shoots. Autumn-fruiting cultivars: for a single autumn harvest, cut all canes down low in late winter.
Summer- and autumn-fruiting cultivars bear on wood of different ages.
Keep summer-fruiting or autumn-fruiting type as a task condition; using the same pruning task for both would cost the harvest.
A row of bramble fruits becomes more attractive when you distribute the shoots deliberately. Put in a sturdy wire framework first and keep the harvest accessible from the path. Tie in with soft, roomy loops; lay different shoots alongside one another rather than making a thick bundle. This helps you find the fruit and makes removing the right canes later easier.
Distinguish young replacement shoots from wood that has already fruited. With summer raspberries and many bramble fruits, you want to retain new wood for a following harvest. Autumn raspberries need their own approach: do not automatically copy the pruning schedule for a summer cultivar. A photograph before pruning and a label by the plant help you remember what you did.
Choose for the time of eating too. A bowl of soft fruit eaten straight from the plant calls for something different from fruit for jam or a pie. Compare aroma, acidity and how the fruit comes away. A tayberry or loganberry is a different choice from a blackberry with an unusual name. Give these hybrids their own places so you can compare flavour and vigour fairly.
