    Raspberry fruit breaking up!

    Can anyone advise please. I have a couple of Raspberry bushes - planted 3yrs ago - think they are the Autumn bliss variety. When picked the fruit disintegrates from looking like a 'raspberry' into a mass of 'bobbles'!..(they just disintegrate on being pulled from the cane) and rather than having a nice punnet full of healthy looking fruits, I am left with something resembling hundreds and thousands::...Same thing happened last year, and I thought perhaps it was due to lack of watering, so have upped the water and certainly have more fruits this year, though the same thing is still happening...Where am I going wrong..?!!

    Are you sure it is Autumn Bliss? I have this issue with 'Pokusa', it's a 'feature' of the plant. The bobbles are very large

      This only happens to mine when they're a bit over-ripe. They're still good for jam & wine though

        Ditto, if I miss picking them for a day or two they get like this for me. Hence the red hands this morning! I am freezing those and eating the more solid ones.
        Mind if I ask did you make raspberry wine before TS and is it nice? Will have enough frozen to do it but read some people saying raspberry is too acidic or something to make a nice wine??? (Sorry for off topic)

            ... the raspberries, not the hands

              That's what I was hoping you would say, thanks

                I had Autumn Bliss for a number of years but when I moved plot ditched them as I had exactly the crumbling problem you describe. I think it was if they got dry when the fruit was forming. I know we've had a wet year but it's been quite dry here for the last few weeks.
