Black raspberries can be counted on both summer and autumn raspberries.
Ripening time of summer raspberries
In contrast to autumn raspberries, summer raspberries usually bear more fruit. For this reason too, they absolutely need a scaffold, so that the rods do not bend under the weight of the fruit.
The first summer raspberry varieties already mature in mid-June. The later varieties, however, you can reap only in July. The harvest season of summer raspberries only takes a few weeks.
Cultivation and care of summer raspberries
The cultivation of summer raspberries is no different from autumn raspberries. Like all raspberry varieties they love a sunny spot with well drained soil.
However, summer raspberries need more care because they are more susceptible to disease. They are more likely to suffer from Ruthen disease. The reason for this is that when pruning only the biennial rods are removed after harvesting.
Summer raspberries bloom at a time when the raspberry beetle swarms to lay its eggs. From them develop larvae, which later show up in the fruits as maggots.
Tips & Tricks
Summer raspberries are considered very susceptible to diseases and maggots. Breeders are therefore keen to develop new varieties that are resilient to diseases and produce rich crops. Before deciding on certain species of summer raspberry, advice in a nursery is advisable.
