Bought 2 Raspberry and 2 Blackberry plants from Aldi and Morrisons and put them in the garden early this year, they have grown ok but 1 better than the others.
This is a picture of the biggest one, is that Raspberries forming or more leaves?

    They're raspberries forming, but don't get too excited. With the weather we have had, wet, dry, hot, cold, plants are confused and sometimes flower out of season.
    If we get a long Indian Summer you may get a taste, fingers crossed
    At least you know it has survived and will provide next year

    They could be autumn fruiting ones, ours are in full flow at the moment, but we are still getting flowers like those on them. If they are in a sunny spot and well waterered, you'll probably get fruit. We planted 5 canes 3 years ago, they've spread like mad and I'm getting about three quarters of a pound of fruit a day off them and have been for the past couple of weeks with more to come yet.
