Remontant Raspberry
With radical autumn pruning, it produces one large harvest in September–October.
Autumn raspberry is a wonderful discovery for gardeners who wish to extend the season of berry abundance right until the first frosts. Unlike ordinary summer raspberry, which fruits once during the summer, this variety gifts us two harvests: the first in June–July on last year's canes, and the second — far more abundant — in September–October on the young canes of the current year. This is precisely why gardeners most often employ radical autumn pruning of all canes to ground level, to obtain one robust harvest set against the golden hues of autumn light.
The plant impresses with its undemanding nature: it settles happily in any corner of the garden if it receives sufficient sunlight. Modern remontant varieties grow more compactly than their summer cousins and suit even small plots remarkably well. Contemporary hybrids produce berries the size of cherries, with rich, sugary flavour and a cherry-like aroma that persists even after frosts.
This raspberry has become a favourite among Ukrainian gardeners, as it can be cultivated in all regions — from the rich black earth of the south to the cooler northern areas. It blends organically in the garden with blackberry, currant, and ordinary raspberry, creating a true berry paradise. Moreover, the autumn crop often keeps fresh considerably longer, as cool weather slows its deterioration.
If you yearn for raspberries when summer has faded into the past and the garden begins to fill with autumn gold, autumn raspberry will be your most generous gift. It is a plant that transforms a failed summer into a splendid autumn.
