Raspberry, Chilliwack Mature Cane

Chilliwack Raspberry is a firm, sweet red raspberry with excellent flavour and shelf life. This variety fruits heavily in summer and often gives a second flush in autumn. It grows on upright, mostly thornless canes and handles pruning well. Originally bred in Canada, Chilliwack has become a favourite for home growers across Australia thanks to its disease resistance, good fruit size, and low chill needs. Ideal for trellising or large pots.
