Last spring I bought some Raspberry canes from Sainsbury's which were marked as variety Tulameen. I have grown raspberries in the past and had always wanted to try this variety, so was looking forward to them getting established with a view to a crop this year, as my research showed they were a summer fruiting variety.
Here's the thing - they grew well, but flowered and produced fruit on the new canes, like an Autumn fruiting variety!!
So I'm wondering, does this variety sometimes produce a crop on the new canes and then go on to produce a full crop on the same canes the following year, or have these canes been mislabelled and are actually a proper autumn variety?
I cut the fruited canes out after cropping on the assumption they were mislabelled- on reflection should have maybe left one cane to see what happened!
Anybody grown/growing Tulameen who could give me any guidance?
Any help appreciated!
