Description of the product:
The Australian Raspberry is known for its bright red, juicy berries that are edible and delicious. These berries are sweet with a mild raspberry flavor and are larger than the typical raspberries found in the US, measuring about 3/4 – 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Commonly described as shrubs, they actually grow as canes and can quickly form dense thickets in favorable climates. They respond well to pruning, which can help keep them contained, or they can be grown in containers to manage spreading. The plants feature thorns, though less so than many other raspberry varieties. Their primary fruiting season extends from summer to fall, but they can also produce fruit year-round in warmer areas.

Arrived quickly and well wrapped. Haven’t had a chance to plant them yet, but I don’t doubt that they’ll grow once I do.
