Raspberry compatibility
Looking for another variety to add to my decades-old black raspberry
patch. IIRC, red raspberries are incompatible because of either virus or fungus susceptibility (shame, since the red types taste MUCH better). What's a practical choice? And yes, I *want* thorny varieties, since berries alone do nothing to deter tresspassers. |

Haut is early and very profific but it seems to be getting hard to find. I wanted to put in some more Haut this year but could not locate them so I went with Jewel. John |

And yes, I *want* thorny varieties, since berries alone do nothing to deter tresspassers. At one time I had both black raspberries and red ever bearing raspberries growing right next to each other. After time the black raspberries tip rooted into the red raspberries and the red raspberries suckered into the black raspberries. They would both bear with out a problem, no disease or pest problems for the last few years. One of my bigger jobs this spring was to dig out the ever bearing red raspberries. I just didn't care for the taste, summer bearers are more tasty imo. I have replaced the red raspberries with Kiwi Gold raspberries. Something new and different. Mom always said that part of gardening was trying something new and different and if it doesn't work out try something new and different again. You may be surprised at what works. Now I'll find out if black raspberries and gold raspberries are compatible. Marty |
