Title: Yellow raspberries
Post by: KittyKatt 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

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.

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
