Enjoy a harvest of plump, juicy raspberries in the first summer after planting.
Bears fruit in August, providing a refreshing treat during the hottest part of the summer.
Awarded the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
Charming white flowers appear in spring before the berries develop.
Recognised by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', helping to attract bees to your garden.

Species: Raspberry
Flowers: Pretty white flowers appear in spring
Position: Full sun
Soil: Any moist, well-drained soil. If your soil drains poorly, consider enriching it with some organic matter (or even some horticultural grit/perlite). This variety prefers acidic or neutral soil conditions.
Hardiness: H6 - This variety of raspberry is frost hardy down to temperatures of roughly -20°C.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 25-50cm.
Habit: Raspberry plants typically grow as upright canes and also send up new canes (known as suckers).
Tasting Notes: Juicy and packed with flavour
Uses: Eating fresh, baking and desserts
Fertility: Self fertile
Pest & Disease: Good pest and disease resistance. Can be affected by aphids, raspberry beetles and grey mould.

Planting: Before planting, soak the roots for an hour. Add root grow to the planting hole.
Spacing: Plant 40-50cm apart to allow for spreading.
Support: Support your raspberry plants with a simple wire trellis, either attached to a wall or fence, or between two wooden posts.
Watering: Raspberry plants are pretty thirsty and ask that their soil be kept consistently moist. It's recommended that you water your plant(s) regularly throughout the growing season and especially during prolonged periods of hot, dry weather. Raspberry plants grown in pots require even more regular watering. When watering, aim to water at the plant's base, keeping the foliage, flowers and fruit dry if possible (this reduces the risk of fungal disease).
Feeding: An application of Vitax Q4 (or something similar) in the spring will help your raspberry cane(s) grow better.
Pruning: Once your canes have finished fruiting for the year, cut those fruited canes down to ground level, and tie in the strongest-growing new canes to your trellis.

Product Specifications

Supplied as: 5 bare root long canes
Height on arrival: 120-150cm
Eventual height: Canes grow to a rough height of between 1.5 and 2m tall.
Time to first crop: Because long canes aren't cut back, you can expect fruit in your first year.
