Rubus probus Seed : Atherton Raspberry

Description

20 x freshly harvested seeds of Rubus probus – Atherton Raspberry

 

• The Atherton Raspberry is one of 8 Native Australian raspberry varieties, and is probably the tastiest.

• It is a vigorous plant, very easy to grow in the right climate.

• Ornamental – Beautiful plant, large fuzzy berries and lush foliage.
  

• Heavy cropper, it produces abundantly and is very low maintenance. Much more productive than traditional European varieties. Not uncommon to get a few kilos from each plant!

• Great for permaculture and self sufficiency food forests – simple food production.

• These tend to crop twice in one season.

• Unlike European raspberries these can be grown quite easily from seed. Smoke treatment seems to improve the germination rates but I do not use it and have success without.

• Organically grown in Queensland Australia.

 

We sometimes have seedlings and/or cane cutting available – please ask if not listed 🙂

 

Germination:

Sow with a light covering of soil in full sun. Keep moist until germination – this can take a couple of months.

*Smoke treatment can improve germination rates but is not absolutely necessary.
