My entire raspberry collection is to be renewed in November. As well as 6 yellow raspberry canes, I am looking for early summer and autumn raspberry varieties too. A lot mention Joan J but i was looking at Glen ample as a summer raspberry and Polka as an everbearing raspberry. Both are spine-free canes, and Polka are supposed to produce more and be larger than Joan J ??? ??? Opinions please

Bigger than Joan J? I find that hard to believe ;D
No experience of Joan J, but the canes of Glen Ample that we planted at work this spring have already produced a small crop of very big, fat, sweet raspberries.
Not sure they were supposed to do anything til next year, but obviously no-one told them that!
