We bought these 5 plants two years ago and had a hard time getting them going, even had to replace one, but once they got going -WOW! These berries are huge, very tasty raspberry flavor and store well for a few days in the fridge and they are very productive. Once started, they spread well without going wild. Unlike the berries I had previously, these are easy to find and pick and best of all, thornless. Well worth the effort to get them going. They seem pretty sensitive to pH.
