Which raspberry varieties are suitable for growing in the garden?
Summer raspberries or autumn raspberries - red, yellow or black fruits - high and low raspberry bushes with and without thorns: Given the large number of different raspberry varieties, the right choice is not easy. A small decision aid for the selection of raspberries for your garden.
Advantages and disadvantages of summer raspberries
Summer raspberries only bear on biennial rods. The fruits ripen from June to July. The harvest is usually more abundant than autumn raspberries.
But the early varieties are more susceptible to disease and pest infestation. Summer raspberries are often attacked by the maggots of the raspberry beetle. They must therefore be constantly checked for diseases and pest infestation.
Since summer raspberries always cut back only the two-year-old rods, the Ruthen disease can spread more easily.

Advantages and disadvantages of autumn raspberries
Autumn raspberries already bear on the annual rods and mature from August. They can be harvested several times a week until frosty. The yield is lower than that of the summer raspberries. Also, the fruits are not quite as aromatic.
The pruning of autumn raspberries is much easier, as all shoots are cut back. As a result, the Rutken disease occurs less often.
Since the raspberry beetle no longer lays eggs in the autumn raspberries, the fruits are largely free of maggots.
