Definitely Polka, they were amazing last year, for me anyway. I found the Autumn Bliss very light and watery rather than full bodied and yummy (lol) I got Glen Clova and Glen Magna this year but unsure what they will be like, anyone able to tell me? Thought I'd pot them up and see how they go. I've also the possibility of getting Tadmor and Cascade Delight, but unsure as yet if that's happening or what they are like suppose I can always make jam if I don't like them lol
I am restarting my raspberry bed and have decided to go for just autumn fruiting canes. They require less support than the summer fruiters and seem to produce more fruit over a longer season (& the birds seem less attracted to them than the earlier varieties).
In view of the recommendations above I will give Polka a try this time. But (out of interest) - has anybody tried any of the yellow varieties? I thought I might go for just one cane to add interest to the fruit bowl. How do they compare in terms of yield and taste? Any recommendations for variety?
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
