  • Are still expensive. It has been tried to improve these berries. Producing larger fruits like has been done with strawberries did work but had a very negative effect on the taste of these fine berries. That's the reason why there aren't large raspberries on the market. Maybe in the future someone might discover a rare seedling and is able to cultivate a large tasty raspberry. We can't hardly wait 'till it is so far!
