I'm about to order some rasps and there's too much choice out there
Would like summer & autumn varieties. What would you recommend?

As there's just the two of us I would go for taste over volume - but don't mind both!

Thanks in advance

I know it is a commercial variety, but I like Tulameen.
Good taste and shape, picks clean and hold its shape too.

The most popular variety on my allotment site is Autumn Bliss. Tough, high yielding and easy to prune. The downside is that it fruits after the redcurrants have finished.

My autumn one is Polka - and I picked some this morning! - It's been fruiting since July.
