This sort of raspberry fruits on the current year's growth as opposed to stems from the year before.

The fruit are bigger and (in our opinion) taste better than Autumn Bliss. They freeze really well, without the increase in acidity that is often found in other varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest autumn fruiting\/primocane for freezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFruits on stems that grew that year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery Late Season:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrops from late August - October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThornless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRHS Plants for Pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRHS Award of Garden Merit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaspberries carry a first large fruiting - about 50% of the total in the first 2-4 weeks after they begin fruiting, followed by a much steadier yield for the remainder of their season. So if you want to pick raspberries from June to October you will need to have some early, some mid-season, some late fruiting and some autumn raspberry canes. Joan J does the last bit better than any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all autumn fruiting raspberries Joan J needs little support, and unless it's in a windy spot it doesn't need to be tied to horizontal wires. Autumn fruiting raspberries are best planted with about 60cm between plants in all directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoan J is supplied bare rooted.
