Due to the gardening conditions this year and bearing in mind the plants were only newly planted i at the back end of last year it could be one of two either the weather conditions brought the fruit early if large bushes/canes planted , however if not mature plants then it could actually be the wrong variety.

I planted them in great big pots in the winter and by June, they werefruiting
small amounts of raspberries. They look very healthy andhappy etc

Not complaining in the slightest but I thought they weren't meant tofruit
until August?

Do you think they were a wrongly labelled variety or have I just beenvery
lucky to get an early harvest?

I can see lots of new fruit forming on the tops of the plants now. Whereas
the early fruit was all quite low down.

Thanks in advance for any answers!

A lot of fruit are ripening early this year. Texas Dewberries normally
ripen the first part of May. They were well done by then this year.

My Mustang grapes normally ripen the first of August. This year, they
were raisins by the first part of July.
