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.
