Description
This sunshine-colored fruit has a unique flavor with hints of apricot. These large, sweet, firm berries will liven up tarts, jams and salads. They also freeze well. The hardy and productive plant bears in the first year. Cold-hardy and heat-tolerant. Fall-bearing (everbearing) primocane with a summer crop. Floricane berries ripen in July and August. Primocane berries ripen in September through frost. Self-pollinating.
Note: Do not plant Red, Gold or Purple raspberries within 75-100 feet of Black raspberries. Black raspberries may be more susceptible to viral diseases carried by aphids to and from nearby raspberry plants.

How to Grow Anne Raspberries
Related Articles
A yellow variety of bramble, Anne raspberries bear fruit in late August through October, rather than in early summer like many of their red counterparts. The berries are somewhat large and very sweet, making them a good addition to the home garden. Just like red varieties, the plants require little effort once they are planted in good growing conditions and will multiply quickly to create a large berry patch in a few years.
1 Choose a spot in the garden that has good drainage and air circulation, as well as full sunlight for optimal growing conditions. Contact the local county extension office to test that area of soil for nutrient and pH levels prior to planting the Anne raspberry canes. They will thrive in soil that contains a pH of 5.6 to 6.2. Soil that contains less can be improved with an application of limestone.
2 Purchase Anne raspberry canes that are healthy and disease-resistant. These can be found at local nurseries or online and usually appear as a stick -- or cane -- with roots. Shipped without leaves in a dormant state, these canes, or "handles," should be 12 to 18 inches tall, with a large root ball.
3 Prepare the garden soil in the spring. Hoe the area to remove weeds and loosen the soil. Mix compost or composted manure into the soil prior to planting to provide nutrients.4Soak the roots of the Anne raspberry canes in a bucket of room-temperature water to prepare the roots for planting. Soaking can take as little as five hours, or leave the roots in the water overnight.
5 Remove the Anne raspberry canes from the water. Make an indentation in the soil the depth of the root; spread the roots out gently with your hand and place the cane in the soil, positioning the roots to move out on all sides. Cover the roots with soil and press down gently but firmly.
6 Water the soil around the plants thoroughly; it should be saturated but not puddling to avoid root rot. Do not water the leaves or canes, as this can cause the plant to mold and rot. Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain moisture.
7 Prune the Anne raspberry canes to 4 inches after planting; this encourages fast and vigorous growth. When new raspberry growth reaches a foot or more, they will begin to flop over with their own weight. Trellis raspberries -- a T-shaped trellis with wires stretching the length of the patch works well -- to provide support as they continue to grow. Canes should be pruned to the ground or mowed down down each fall; while the root is perennial, the canes only last one to two years. New canes will appear each spring.
8 Apply a 10-10-10 fertilizer (10 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphorus and 10 percent potassium) to the ground around the raspberries 10 days after planting and again 40 days after planting. This can be purchased at a garden center. Do not apply the fertilizer to the canes or any leaves. Follow the manufacturer's directions for the amount to mix with water for the number of Anne raspberry plants growing.

Tips
- Position plants at least 2 feet apart. If planting rows of canes, rows can be 5 to 6 feet apart.
- Good berry production should occur in the third year after the patch is planted.
Warning
- Berry canes may need to be covered with netting during harvest to protect the crop from birds.
