The raspberry bush has taken well. These big raspberries are excellent, and it's very pleasant not to prick one's hands. I had few fruits, but it's the first year.

Description

Rubus idaeus FRUITALITY Frambelise is a recent variety that adapts well to small gardens and pot cultivation on balconies and patios. This perpetual variety produces large raspberries, approximately 2cm (1in) in diameter. It fruits from June to October on the current year's shoots. Planting is recommended in autumn or spring for regions with cold or humid winters. It is a self-fertile variety that can pollinate itself, but planting it with other raspberry varieties will enhance production by staggering harvests and diversifying flavours and uses. Hardy (down to -20°C (-4°F)) and resistant to diseases, it is easy to cultivate and requires minimal maintenance.

 

Rubus idaeus, commonly known as raspberry, originates from Europe and temperate Asia. It belongs to the Rosaceae family, like strawberries, blackberries, and wild roses. In its native habitat, it grows in the understory in cool climates, often with plants such as rowan, elderberry, or beech, forming a symbiotic relationship. Optimal production starts from the third year after planting. The lifespan of a raspberry plant is around ten years. Two categories of raspberries are distinguished: perpetual varieties that provide a harvest from July-August until the first frost, and non-perpetual varieties that have a bountiful harvest around June-July.

Frambelise is part of a highly innovative range of fruit plants distributed in France under the FRUITALITY® brand. This range consists of selected varieties chosen for their ease of cultivation and adaptability to small spaces. It forms a bushy shrub that can reach 90cm (35in) in height and 80cm (32in) in width. Its deciduous foliage is carried on upright stems, developing from a moderately suckering perennial stump. The biennial stems die after fruiting. They give rise to suckers from the roots every year, forming new canes armed with small thorns. Its leaves are green on the upper side, and white-green and tomentose on the underside. The flowering is popular with bees. The white flowers, 1 to 2cm (1in) in diameter, are grouped in small clusters of 10 to 12. They appear from April-May, and the flowering period extends until August. The fruits consist of small aggregated drupes that are easy to detach when ripe.

Frambelise can be grown in pots on a balcony, patio, or in a small garden. It can also be planted in the vegetable garden, orchard, or as a focal point in an ornamental garden. In any case, this raspberry will find a special place alongside other small fruit varieties. This perpetual variety offers the advantage of staggered harvests for various uses. Raspberries are delicate fruits that need to be carefully picked. They can be lightly washed with water and stored in the refrigerator. Picking is easy, and it is enjoyable either to eat the fruits on the spot or to use them for various culinary purposes such as sorbets, sauces, jams, tiramisu, crumbles, and puddings, not forgetting the traditional raspberry tart. They are low in calories, but rich in minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron), vitamins C and K, fibre, and antioxidants. Raspberries contribute to a balanced diet.

Like the other fruit trees in the FRUITALITY® range (the dwarf cherry tree 'Cherry Baby'®, the fig tree 'Figality'®, Fruity Berry May®, and the goji berry 'Gojidelys'®), Frambelise is easy to grow, hardy, reliable, and less susceptible to diseases.

Planting and care

It prefers humus-rich soil that retains moisture, even in summer, without too much limestone. It appreciates partially shaded but bright exposures. In cool regions, it will tolerate sunlight well. In warmer and sunnier regions, it prefers partial shade. Plant it from October to March in ordinary soil enriched with compost and well-rotted manure.

Plant them every 50cm (20in) in rows spaced 1.2m (4ft) apart. When planting, the collar should be level with the ground.

Water regularly to encourage root development in the first year of planting. Provide additional water during periods of high heat or prolonged drought. Weed the soil surface, especially at the beginning of planting, and apply mulch to retain moisture in summer.

For pot planting, place gravel or clay balls at the bottom of the container to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of soil, compost, and potting soil.

It can be susceptible to diseases if growing conditions are not optimal (raspberry anthracnose, raspberry rust, powdery mildew, grey mould during rainy periods, or Botrytis). The damage observed in cultivation is due to unfavourable weather conditions, especially during cold springs that allow micro-fungi present in the soil to infest the vegetation. To protect the bushes, it is recommended to fertilise them with organic fertilisers that encourage anaerobic bacteria to multiply in the soil, which strengthens the soil's ability to stimulate the plants' immune system. Raspberry bushes can also be attacked by parasites, such as raspberry worms, the larvae of a small beetle that lodges in the fruits, without causing significant damage.

Raspberries easily multiply through suckers that grow near the base: remove them and replant them elsewhere in the garden, if desired.

Care

Pruning instructions Pruning is necessary to ensure good fruiting. It varies depending on whether they are perpetual or non-perpetual. Non-perpetual raspberry bushes bear fruit in early summer on the previous year's branches. After harvesting, cut the fruit-bearing stems to ground level. In winter, keep 10 to 12 shoots per metre, trim the ends, and cut the rest of the stems to ground level. Perpetual raspberry bushes bear fruit for the first time in late summer and autumn on the new shoots, and then again in early summer the following year on the same stems. In August, cut the fruited branches to ground level, and in winter, prune the ends of the stems that fruited in autumn. Remove dead wood and weak or diseased branches.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year
