Raspberry ‘Anne’

Rubus 'Anne'

One of my 2020 quarantine projects: roll back the overgrown English ivy from the parking strip retaining wall and replace with raspberries! I found this yellow variety which was recommended by some website which I’ve sadly lost track of. I wanted red raspberries but they were sold out. I’m sure these will be just as delicious! I planted them in one of the sunniest spots in the yard, hopefully they do ok – a little shade doesn’t seem to deter the invasive Himalayan blackberries so that gives me hope.

Pruning Everbearing Raspberries:

  • Do not prune the first year EXCEPT to remove dead, damaged or diseased wood.
  • Each spring select 5 or 6 of the most vigorous new canes and cut them back to 30 inches tall.  All other NEW canes can be removed.
  • Do not remove last year’s fruiting canes- they will fruit again in early summer. Pinch back 3-4 inches off their lateral branches.
  • Expect new canes to fruit in the fall of their first year and in early summer of their second year.
  • Remove and destroy old canes immediately after their second fruit in early summer of their second year.  They will not bear again.

UPDATE 2021: The downside – deer pretty much ate the raspberries to nubs last year. The upside (sort of) – all easement trees removed and a new house behind us means more sun and no more deer. Looking forward to maybe having some raspberries to eat this year.
