The best raspberry varieties
In the US, "Nova" and "Prelude" are often the earliest ripening red raspberries, and "Glen Ample" in the UK. Because these varieties start fruiting soon after emerging from winter dormancy, they are easy to manage as compact shrubs tied to posts or fences.
Varieties that ripen a few weeks later, such as "Boyne" and "Killarney" in the US, or "Tullameen" and "Malling Admiral" in the UK, can be phenomenally productive, but their tall canes require more discipline. Dense wire trellising is recommended to keep shrubs upright, but small garden plantings can be supported in a variety of ways, such as planting raspberries along a fence at the edge of the garden. With adequate moisture, shrub plants will grow up to 4 feet (1.22 m) tall, at which height they should be pinched to encourage branching.
If you don't have tree fruit to fill your time in September, give fall raspberries a place in an airy corner of the garden. Two great options for fall red raspberries are "Caroline" and "Autumn Bliss", but many people like to have golden raspberries take center stage in the fall. In fact, golden raspberries that fruit in the fall, such as "Anne", "All Gold", and "KiwiGold", often have an extremely sweet flavor due to fewer tart compounds.
