I wanted a place to share some of my plants. Maybe some u didn't know exist. I'll start with the picture above here - This is a fruiting Aiselu (Nepali: ऐसेलु ). The Golden Himalayan Raspberry . Did you know there was a Golden Variety of Raspberry? They aren't as sweet as their red or black berry companions but their taste is more complex. They are everbearing which means producing fruit throughout the growing season or multiple times during a single growing season. Raspberry is unique. Sometimes considered a weed; hard to kill. It likes very acidic well draining soil and a thick layer of mulch to protect it's shallow roots. They never fruit their first year of growth unless you know some tricks. They develop what is called a ' primocane '. This dies back and then a secondary cane will grow known as a ' floricane '.
"Generally, the primocanes are thicker, fleshy, and green, while the second-year growth floricanes turn woody and brown before dying back. Other primocane and floricane differences include when fruit appear on them. Floricanes should have a lot of still-green berries in spring, while primocanes will have no fruit. "
By topping the primocane on everbearing variety u can actually get fruit the first year but don't tell anyone. But b4 tip-pruning any-bearing raspberries, I think each must come to an understanding with the variety under their care
Peace !
