Zefa 3 Herbsternte

Season Overview

Description

The raspberry variety 'ZEFA 3 Herbsternte' is a high-yielding, self-fertile autumn raspberry that ripens from the end of August until the first frost. It is characterized by large, firm, dark red fruits that are sweet and aromatic in taste. The plants reach a height of 150-160 cm and have an upright, overhanging habit. 'ZEFA 3' is robust and hardy down to -20°C, ideal for sunny to semi-shady locations in humus-rich, well-drained soil. This variety is ideal for home gardens as well as for growing in containers and on balconies.

Growing tips

The raspberry prefers to grow in a wind-protected, semi-shaded to sunny spot in the garden. To ensure a good harvest in the first year, the root balls should be planted in the fall, but they can also be planted in the spring. Before planting, loosen the soil and mix in some compost, as raspberries prefer a loose, humus-rich soil. When planting, the buds should be covered with about 5 cm of soil and a distance of 40 - 50 cm should be maintained between the root balls. Water the root balls well immediately after planting. Depending on how tall your variety grows, you can also build a small scaffold to support the raspberries and make them easier to care for and harvest.
