    17 July 2007 Raspberry

    http://ibozo.notlong.com/ 17 July 2007 Raspberry.

    These four plants were purchased from Home Depot in 2005. The plants grow to about two meters plus and are supported with re-bar rods. The fruit is on last years stems, which will be cut to ground level after fruiting. The picture depicts the second picking and there will be a third picking. The first picking produced the same amount of berries. The berries are quite large and have an excellent flavour. The name of this cultivar has been lost.

    I have another group which fruits later in the season. They are in their second year and they produce on new season's growth, and are cut to ground level for over-wintering. This is my first real experience with raspberry growing.

    Well, Durgan, since you're in Brantford you should have no problems at all with your raspberries, except that they might go nuts and take over your garden. As long as you hack back the cane to the ground each winter, they should keep producing.

    Sorry, I can't help with the cultivar, but they look a whole lot like the "everbearing" type I was growing in Alberta with tremendous success. Of course, your winters are milder so you shouldn't get the same sort of freeze-death that I had...
