Abstract:
This review describes how the growth cycles of biennial and primocane fruiting raspberry cultivars are controlled by the environment, the genotype and cultural practices. For plants to fruit outside their normal season, these growth cycles need to be manipulated and optimized for fruit production at specific times of the year. Techniques to achieve this are discussed in the accompanying paper. In addition it identifies areas which are less well understood and in need of further investigation.
