A good quality mid-season primocane from the EMR programme, Autumn Treasure produces large (3.5 grams – 5.0 grams) conical, cohesive berries that have an attractive, bright colour.
The fruit is firm with a pleasant flavour and plugs easily at an early stage of ripeness. Picking commences slightly later than Autumn Bliss and the 50% pick date varies between 26th August and 8th September in Kent. The canes are strongly erect, self supporting and spine free.
Autumn Treasure is resistant to Verticillium Wilt and Powdery Mildew, has good tolerance to Raspberry Root Rot and withstands adverse weather conditions better than other primocanes.
Recommended for organic or low input growing systems.
