Raspberry variety "Tulameen"

I have planted some raspberry canes with this variety name. It is
described as "a new introduction". The name seems to me to be Finnish.
Or does anybody know better?

Google is your friend. It is Canadian (British Columbian) variety name
after a town in British Columbia.

It is a lovely raspberry, large fruit on long branches, but it does grow very
tall. I think mine would have topped 10' if I had not bent them over in a hoop.

I suppose it depends how you define new I have had mine for 4 years.

Is the flavour as good as they say? My comparator for
flavour in commercial varieties is Malling Leo, if you know that one, does
it compare?

I don't grow Malling Leo and I don't buy raspberries. even the best boughten
ones seem short on both taste and smell. I love the smell of fresh
raspberries:-). I compares favourably with Malling Admiral in fact Joan J is
probably the only one I grow that comes near it for taste and smell.

Your discussion has convince me to have another try with raspberries.
Just ordered Joan J and Tulaneem.

:o)

If I could recommend Rubus idaeus Fallgold - it - is - gor- geous !!
They taste like they did when I was a kid. I've just about manage two
punnets this year (planted them last year) and the birds have had a
feast as well. Next year, I'll double that Im sure, with some
protection this time.

I grow fallgold (a yellow raspberry) and autumn bliss. I'm surprized you
rave at it's taste, but taste is always a personal thing. While it is
good, I can think of lots of other rasperries that have superior taste,
even Autumn Bliss :-). It has lots of excellant other qualities, disease
resistance, long fruiting period (aug-nov or later!), abundant cropping,
and in my case they don't seem to attract the birds! The red ones do.

:o) I have several autumn bliss too. I find the fallgold though so
much more interesting in a bowl. Brings a bit of different colours.
The thing is that I'm eating them in situ ... and hardly get to my
bowl at all. Bon appetit !

I thought we were talking taste not colour :-) Mind you the food
psychologists would suggest you can't completely separate the two!
