Raspberry tree 'Raspbeary'
Rubus idaeus 'Hararasp'
Sold as a raspberry tree: a Japanese-bred raspberry with thick, upright stems that hold themselves up, so no posts and no wires. Arrived cut back hard on a frame of canes, with a few leaves left and its thorns intact.
It fruits in summer on stems grown the year before. Nothing to prune until it has fruited; after that the fruited stems come out and the new ones stay.
