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.
