The raspberry yellow ‘Anne’ (Rubus idaeus) promises a large autumn raspberry, light yellow, orange when ripe to the extreme, exceptionally sunny, sweet and very sugary, with almost undetectable acidity, which sets it apart from the others. It produces on the first-year stems, which makes pruning easier: mow all the stems to ground level after the harvest stopped by the autumn frosts. At the same time, if you prune it like a summer raspberry, it will start moderately on the second-year stems and then continue its production in the autumn, spreading the harvest over several months.
These raspberry bushes are practical and make a tall hedge to train for sure, where it will be easier to appreciate their expansive suckers that can be managed with the mower or with various hand tools allowing then to recover the tender shoots that you can consume like asparagus, raw or cooked, or in sweet herbal tea, before the invasion.
Choose its final location carefully, because if it is welcome to settle in any type of soil that drains well, comfortable in slightly acidic soil, it quickly becomes persistent and a little colon. Even if the plant fortunately gets by, the harvest will be juicier if it does not suffer from drought.
Take pleasure in picking raspberries ripened to perfection, selected for their flavor, sweeter than in stores, and cut the prices, increasingly high due to a costly picking time in labor. Available perhaps only at some farmers markets or pick-your-own, ‘Anne’ is worth its weight in gold.
The production of the raspberry yellow ‘Anne’ begins in the 2nd year, and can decline due to diseases after 7 or 8 years of good harvests. Self-fertile.
