Description
The Raspberry Bush 'Little Sweet Sister' from Organic Agriculture is a dwarf variety, ideal for planting in large pots on balconies and patios. The plant, whose branches are devoid of thorns, produces rounded fruits of good size without being particularly large. Their flavour is quite representative of raspberries in general, but it is rather sweet than acidic and their dark red color is mouthwatering. This variety is the earliest of the so-called 'autumn' raspberries: after a small harvest in June, the second crop occurs from mid-July until autumn.
The Raspberry Bush (Rubus idaeus in Latin) belongs to the rose family, like strawberries, blackberries, and wild roses. The wild raspberry bush is native to Europe and temperate Asia, where it grows in cool climates alongside elderberry, beech, or mountain ash, especially in mountain undergrowth, but also in plains.
As for horticultural varieties, there are remontant ones, which produce once in June and then a second time in autumn, usually from August to October, and non-remontant varieties, which have a abundant harvest around June and July.
The Organic Little Sweet Sister Raspberry Bush is a deciduous bush with upright stems, reaching a height of 1m (3ft). The stems or canes are biennial, each one having the peculiarity of dying after fruiting. Each year, new suckers emerge from its roots, new canes that are thornless in this variety. The Raspberry Bush has green leaves on the top, white-green and downy on the underside. They are deciduous and turn yellow in autumn before falling. The flowering is very nectar-rich. The white flowers are small (1 to 2 cm (0.5 to 1in) in diameter), grouped in small clusters of 10 to 12, and appear in April-May. The fruits are formed by small agglomerated drupes, easy to detach when ripe.
To fully enjoy their flavor, raspberries should be consumed shortly after picking, as they do not keep well. If you have a abundant harvest, consider making coulis, sorbets, pies, or jams. You can also freeze them.
The production reaches its normal level in the third year after planting. A plant can produce fruits for several years, around 10 years.

Planting and care
The Little Sweet Sister Organic Raspberry prefers humus-rich, rich soils that retain moisture, even in summer, without too much limestone. Plant it from October to March in ordinary soil enriched with compost and well-rotted manure. The 'Little Sweet Sister' Organic Raspberry can be planted directly in the ground or in a pot.
Plant every 50 cm (20in) in rows spaced 1.20 m (4ft) apart. During planting, the collar should be level with the ground.
Regularly water to promote root development in the first year of planting. During periods of high heat or prolonged drought, provide additional water. Weed the surface especially at the beginning of planting and apply mulch to retain moisture in summer.
For container planting, place gravel or clay pellets at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of soil, compost, and potting soil.
Raspberries can be susceptible to various diseases if the growing conditions are not optimal (raspberry anthracnose, raspberry rust, powdery mildew, gray mold during rainy periods, or Botrytis). The damage observed in cultivation is due to poor climatic conditions, especially during cold springs that allow micro-fungi present in the soil to infest the vegetation. To protect the plants, it is recommended to feed the raspberries with organic fertilizers that promote the multiplication of anaerobic bacteria in the soil, which strengthens the soil's ability to stimulate the plants' immune system. Raspberries can also be attacked by certain parasites such as raspberry worms, the larvae of a small beetle that lodges in the fruits without causing significant damage.
Raspberries easily multiply through suckers that grow near the base: remove them and replant them in another part of the garden if desired.
Beneficial Association: Plant in the company of marigolds and forget-me-nots, pests and diseases will be less common.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
