This excellent new autumn fruiting primocane raspberry was selected as the leading raspberry variety at the prestigious National Fruit Show in Kent for four consecutive years. The fruits are exceptionally large and have a superb aromatic flavour. Very heavy cropping, producing up to double the yield of Autumn Bliss (one of its parents). The canes may not require supporting in sheltered gardens. Polka will commence cropping at least two weeks earlier than Autumn Bliss.
