About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A vigorous Swiss autumn raspberry prized for its particularly large fruits and its tolerance of root rot. It bears on this year's canes from the end of July until frost; in late winter you cut all the canes down to the ground. Because of its strong growth it needs a sturdy wire framework, but it rewards you with high yields. A robust, well protected variety for sites where more sensitive raspberries struggle with the soil.
Very large, juicy fruits with balanced sweetness, one of the most productive autumn raspberries on more difficult soils.
