Yellow raspberries
« on: September 27, 2007, 21:08:39 »
I am thinking of extending my raspberry collection and am rather tempted by the idea of yellow raspberries. BUT I have never tasted one!! Has anyone grown yellow raspberries, and if so, would they recommend them?

Yes I would!
I've grown 'All Gold' this year, they are autumn fruiting variety so easy to care for and taste wonderful, I am considering getting some more! ;D
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Thank you, Deb, that is the best kind of recommendation - tasty and easy to grow!!! I will definitely be adding them to my list.

Yes indeed. No idea on my variety, but they are also autumn fruiting, I started out with a couple of canes two years ago, and now have about a dozen. The fruit is slightly more delicate in taste than red fruit, and the birds seem to leave them alone.
The impossible is just a journey away ...

I've been thinking about planting yellow ones too. Nice to know they are good. :)

I would not plant yellow rasps again. The taste is perfectly acceptable, but they do not look nice with the black beetle grubs growing inside them. I do not want to spray my rasps.

Uuuuggh ;D

Yellow raspberries are like yellow tomatoes......just not right ???
When I grew yellow toms I had to eat them with my eyes shut, otherwise I couldn't believe they were tomatoes.  :o

We've got a row of Autumn Gold.  Very easy to grow and very productive.  But the taste isn't a patch on "real" raspberries.  When they get old they'll be replaced with red ones.

We had a row of them in the garden when I was a child. I always remember picking them and preferring the yellow to the red  :P :P :P
