I've not grown that variety but they should fruit next year, play it by ear & if you think they are growing a bit too tall, put some strings up for support.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

My Autumn fruiting rasps grow to about 6ft, I don't bother with any support for them. My summer fruiting variety have a support system.Comment

I have Polka, I love their big fat berries and almost spineless canes. Mine got to a record 5ft this year (lots of sun & rain at the right times).

I have had my polka for over 5yrs,geat size and taste,i tie in the late stems that wont fruit and trim them to5-6ft and they then crop earlier spreading your cropping time and seemingly larger crops, we still have loads in the freezer +jam+ ice cream + sorbet + mousses....just lovely..Comment
