‘Sweet Sunshine’ is a stunning Raspberry, that is ready to harvest from July until September. It generates bundles of plump, sweet fruits, that cloak a petite growing habit of fresh green foliage. This Rubus is great for planting in patio containers, kitchen and wildlife gardens and enjoys growing in full sun. Easy to care for and attractive when laden with bright pink berries, watch it thrive to a height of 1m, along with a spread of 50cm. This dwarf variety promises a bounty of juicy raspberries straight from your patio.
Grow raspberry plants in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. The stems of summer fruiting raspberries will require support. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m (6’) posts. Autumn fruiting varieties will not require supports.
Plant raspberry canes in a row against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 60cm (24”) between plants. Water well.
Summer fruiting raspberries fruit on the previous season’s growth. Leave unpruned after planting. This cane will go on to produce fruit next summer, at the same time, new shoots will grow from the roots. Once fruit has been picked the original cane should be removed and the new shoots left to grow to produce fruit the following year. Autumn fruiting canes should be pruned to 15cm (6”) above ground level immediately after planting to encourage more shoots to be produced.
