When to plant raspberry in Darwin
Honest answer: raspberry is a poor fit for Darwin. Raspberry can't handle the heat in your area — temperatures exceed 28°C for too much of the year. If you're set on trying, treat it as an experiment — a sheltered microclimate or pots you can move may stretch the rules.
Tropical zone tip
Raspberries can't be grown in the tropics, there's no winter chill and far too much heat.
