We got some from Chris Bowers, they so far have been a complete waste of money and space.

But they were planted in 2018 in sub soil (not our fault, we found out after the fact) and survived all year. Meaning they survived the 2018 drought when everything else planted that year died because our allotment site doesn't have on site water. They were moved last year and then again this year. The blossoms fell off this year so no fruit  . But they are nicely bushing up though.

Chris Bowers are the fancy pants plant cultivator who provide plants to industry fruit gorwers.
They do provide 2 plants per pot so they cross pollinate. There are a lot of soft fruit growers in the raspberry belt up here and the James Sutton institute who are dedicating a lot of land to growing these as of last year I believe. They are really throwing money at improving the strains as well because they believe the climate almost up here is good for them. They wouldn't turn the land over to these plants in that acreage if they didn't believe they were a good investment. They could still be growing raspberries there after all which are a known good crop and safe investment.

So all in all a useless post, but it shows how hardy they are.
