Del said that Autumn Bliss raspberry was a real treat.

I planted Autumn Bliss last spring and was not expecting any fruit 
this year.  However, one has a few large, dark red raspberries. I cut 
the softest, darkest one so everyone could sample it. Sour!  I have 
never tasted a sour raspberry before, so it was a surprise.

Does Autumn Bliss require warm conditions to sweeten?  It was 30 C a 
few days ago, but is now 20, with 10 at night.  Even in midsummer, we 
always have cool nights.
