Raspberry ... language, it is not a berry at all, but instead an aggregate fruit of numerous drupelets around a central core. In raspberry and other species of the subgenus Idaeobatus, the drupelets separate from the core when picked, leaving a hollow fruit, whereas in blackberry the drupelets stay attached to the core. The black raspberry, also called a blackcap, is not the same plant, being a variety (usually) of Rubus occidentalis, a North American species.

... know anyone with raspberries in their garden you can always get them to re-pot some shoots for you. New canes should be planted in a open sunny position and the ground should be cleared of weeds before planting, raspberries are not really fussy about what soil they grow in which makes them easy to handle. The newly planted canes should be cut to about 8 to 10 ins from the ground in April this will encourage growth and a good crop. The old canes will still produce fruit but not as much.

There's nothing better than picking fruit from your garden to eat in the summer months, a bowl of fresh raspberries and cream is a delight beyond compare. My garden has taken me quite a few years to get established but the rewards are now paying off. My Raspbarries have spread to give me and my family enough fruit to enjoy and I hope this review will encourage you to grow them if you have a garden. The best type of raspberry to grow is one which will produce lots of fruit, these are Baumforths Seedling which produce sweet berries. Deutschland which produce dark red and tasty berries. Lloyd George which produce a heavy crop of rich red and tasty ... Read the complete review

Raspberries. They’re red and juicy. They grow on canes in summer. They taste good with ice cream, or cream. They cost £1.49 for a small punnet at Tesco. End of op. Not quite! There is a lot more to raspberries than simply buying them in a plastic see-through box (called a punnet) in your local Tesco’s! In fact, buying them in Tesco’s, for me, would be anathema! There is nothing to beat the sun-drenched flavour of a raspberry picked straight off the plant, and eaten there and then. But have you ever considered how that raspberry got there in the first place? No? Then read on. WHAT IS A RASPBERRY? Raspberries belong ... Read the complete review
