Minimum effort soft fruit?

Raspberries – Cool Temperate - summer fruiting and very sweet.

I bought only one plant with a multi-stem of three 6 years ago from the nursery above and it's been no trouble at all. (Doesn't spread, nor clump-forming. Crops on 2nd year growth. Cut out fruited canes after harvest and leave the new canes for next year. So it's dead easy to look after. It does get a bit tall but you can always 'lean' the stems onto a neighbouring tree, or cut it down after 4/5' but that'll reduce the crop imo. It's in my tiny garden and I've tip-layered them two years ago to make new plants and now I have three lots. The new stems look white-ish/reddish atm, very attractive.

Not sure if strictly soft fruit but Rhubarb are very minimum effort and look attrractive

yes, rhubarb is a very good fruit. It takes a bit of shade too but would need a bit of space though. Takes about 3 years to produce a good crop though from a new crown.
