Is it still possible to get raspberries for planting in the next couple of weeks?
Which autumn raspberries would people recommend?

If you can find them I don't think Autumn Bliss can be beaten. Joan J the improved Autumn Bliss isn't as happy on my heavy clay.

Aldi had Autumn Bliss in a few weeks back, they may have some left.

I planted ten canes of Joan J into my light-ish soil about 3 years ago. Bumper crops since. Big berries with good flavour.

Joan J has done well on my clay soil. I was picking fruit from July into December. Some of it even made its way home!

Also pleased with Joan crops over a very long period. I also like the flavour of Polka. Both trump autumn bliss on my gravelly alkaline soil.
