i have autumn bliss raspberries on my allotment and was looking to grow polka with them have just been to a local garden center the label in the plants says not to grow them where other raspberries are planted does anyone know why would it make any difference

Long-established raspberries can have diseases which would get passed on to your new plants. If the raspberries you already have look healthy and are cropping well, don't worry about it.

That and the fact Raspberries as you know spread like wildfire, and you'll not know what's where!
So what do you do with all your Rapsberries? I freeze some (too lazy to make Jam), eat way too many and still have loads that I give away and finally end up being left for the birds and even they get bored! (little blighters wait for the Cherries in the spring instead)
