180mm Atherton Raspberry - Rubus

Atherton Raspberry is a raspberry native to Australia and Papua New Guinea. This species produces bright red berries, slightly larger in size and milder in taste than the more commonly known raspberries. Eat them fresh (raw) or use them in cakes, jams, jellies, syrups and sauces. A prolific bushfood shrub, the Atherton Raspberry typically fruits in summer and autumn, but has also been known to produce throughout most of the year in some regions. The secret to taste is timing — these berries may turn red long before they’re truly ripe. Wait until the fruit practically falls off its stem when touched. This could take weeks to start with, but once they get going, be prepared for frequent harvests!
