Raspberry ‘Glen Prosen’ will produce medium-large sized berries, that taste so fresh and juicy eaten straight from the plant, or frozen to use later in the kitchen for desserts or jams. The summer fruiting cultivar bares firm fruits on thornless and upright canes, growing with moderate levels of vigour. Ideal for dry or wet regions of the UK, which makes them suitable for most areas of the country. Height: 250cm (98″). Spread: 50cm (20″).
Growing Information
Grow summer fruiting 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 these long caned summer fruiting raspberries will require support. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m (6′) posts. When growing raspberries in containers, support their tall stems on a wigwam of canes.
Plant raspberry canes against their 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.
