Description
- Fruits very late, perfect if you’re planning on having fruit right the way through summer.
- A very hardy variety and reliable, too; a later flowering period means the flowers avoid late frosts which can destroy them before they set.
- A good aromatic flavour, ideal for making sauces or jam.
- Expect to see moderate yields of mid sized, orange-red raspberries from August into September.
- Plant on a sunny spot in rows, with 50cm between canes and tie into supports as they grow. Can even be planted in a large pot (40cm+ in diameter).
- Floricane (summer-fruiting) variety. Floricane varieties fruit on last year’s wood, so it’s important to get the pruning right. Cut back the older canes that fruited after you’ve finished harvesting from them, leaving roughly eight stems that didn’t fruit (these will be green in colour) to grow next year. These canes will bear your next harvest.
