The Polka raspberry variety stands out with its large, medium red berries, bursting with fragrant, zesty flavor. Bred in Poland, Polka offers a virtually spine-free growing experience and yields double the crop of its parent, Autumn Bliss, maturing up to two weeks earlier. These resilient plants thrive even in less-than-ideal soils. However, avoid planting near crops that host Verticillium wilt to ensure a healthy yield. Aside from their delectability, raspberries are low in calories, high in fiber, and packed with antioxidants, making them a nutritional powerhouse!

Primocane Variety Polka has exceptional fruit quality and the large, medium red berries are full of fragrant zesty flavour. Bred in Poland with Autumn Bliss as one of its parents, the virtually spine-free raspberry canes will yield double the crop of Autumn Bliss and Polka crops up to 2 weeks earlier, from late July to October. Polka even grows well on less desirable soils. Thoroughly recommended by the D.T. Brown team!
Raspberry plants should not be planted where potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, or bulbs have previously been grown, without prior fumigation of the soil. These crops are hosts for the disease Verticillium wilt, a fungus that can stay in the soil for many years and can infest the raspberry crop
Raspberries are very vigorous and can be locally invasive. They propagate using basal shoots (also known as suckers), extended underground shoots that develop roots and individual plants. They can sucker new canes some distance from the main plant. For this reason, raspberries spread well, and can take over gardens if left unchecked.
