General description: Autumn raspberries are highly valued. Their fruit are large and sweet. Thanks to their double cropping, the harvest can be enjoyed for a long time, well into autumn. Shrubs grow to around 1.5 m high. They are resistant to frosts, so are perfect for beginner gardeners.

Fruit: This cultivar produces large, sweet, aromatic, reddish-pink fruit.

Ripening: The autumn raspberry starts to bear fruit on two-year-old canes in August, and on the current year’s shoots come autumn.

Cultivation requirements: Raspberry shrubs are easy to cultivate. Sunny and warm locations with fertile, permeable soils are best. Substrates with a slightly acidic pH (around 5.8-6.8) are ideal.

Pruning: Pruning should be conducted in early spring. Dry and damaged canes should be removed, and the remaining ones cut to a length of about 30 cm so they can produce strong new shoots.

Overwintering: Raspberries are frost-resistant in almost any temperate clime and do not freeze in temperatures down to -24°C. At the beginning of November, young seedlings should be covered by a mound of soil with peat about 30 cm in high, or shielded with agrotextiles for the winter.
