The fruit is firm and resilient, known for its double cropping ability, offering a flush of fruit in mid-summer and another later in the season. Compared to other raspberry varieties, Chilcotin has fewer thorns, making it a more pleasant option for cultivation. This floricane variety is suitable for all climates with a cold winter and produces fruit on canes that are in their second year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRow spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2m, A sturdy trellis or support is necessary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFruiting period:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-summer.
