This delicious collection of British bred raspberries can be enjoyed from the end of June all the way through to mid-October. Perfect for growing in your patio pots or in your kitchen garden. These varieties produce large crops of tasty red fruits.
Collection comprises:
Raspberry ‘Glen Prosen’ (Summer fruiting)
Raspberry ‘Glen Ample’ (Midseason summer fruiting)
Raspberry ‘Autumn Bliss’ (Autumn fruiting)
Estimated time to cropping once planted: 4-8 months.
Estimated time to best yields: 16-20 months.
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.
