Remontant Raspberry
With radical autumn pruning, it produces one large harvest in September–October.
Everbearing raspberry is a wonderful discovery for gardeners who wish to extend the season of berry abundance right up to the first frosts. Unlike ordinary raspberry, which fruits once during summer, this variety gives us two harvests: the first in June–July on last year's canes, and the second—much more abundant—in September–October on young canes of the current year. This is why gardeners most often employ radical autumn pruning of all canes to ground level, thereby obtaining one powerful crop set against the backdrop of golden autumn light.
The plant impresses with its undemanding nature: it establishes well in any corner of the garden provided it receives sufficient sunlight. Modern everbearing varieties grow more compact than their summer-fruiting relatives and suit even small plots admirably. The latest 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 the favourite of Ukrainian gardeners, as it can be cultivated throughout all regions—from the black earth soils of the south to the cooler northern areas. It blends harmoniously in the garden with blackberry, currant, and ordinary raspberry, creating a true berry paradise. Moreover, the autumn harvest often keeps fresh longer, as cool weather slows its deterioration.
If you crave raspberries when summer has faded into the past and the garden begins to glow with autumn's gold—everbearing raspberry will be your most generous gift. It is a plant that transforms an unsuccessful summer into a beautiful autumn.
